M.K. Čiurlionis: Between Worlds

M.K. Čiurlionis: Between Worlds is the first major UK exhibition of work by the Lithuanian artist and celebrated composer.

Building on its reputation for introducing lesser-known artists to UK audiences, Dulwich Picture Gallery will bring together over 100 works by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875-1911), widely credited as Lithuania’s greatest artist. The exhibition will feature paintings created throughout his short but prolific career, with most travelling to the UK for the first time.

M.K. Čiurlionis: Between Worlds will reveal how Čiurlionis used structure and colour to create works that sit between mythology and reality. The exhibition will highlight the breadth of Čiurlionis’ interests, with a focus on humankind’s relationship to the universe, and examine the themes and motifs that aligned his art to European Symbolism.
