Alfonsas Čepkauskas Art Gallery
The permanent gallery exhibition features prints and small graphics, illustrations and ex libris, chamber wood and small metal sculptures, miniature stone sculptures, sketches, painting, and other genres of art, including authorial, personal exhibitions, and other publications.
In the narrative cycles of graphic works, there are multifaceted historical interpretations of the daily life, existence, struggles for freedom, and survival of the people of Žemaitija in the Middle Ages. In allegorical-philosophical cycles: the individual's life path, aspirations, commitments, symbiosis of human and nature, interpretations of mythology and legends, sacred symbols. Small graphics and ex libris are associated with the environment, architecture, individual activities, hobbies, institutional purposes, and specifics. Distant lands, travel impressions are revealed through scattered sketches, paintings, photomontages reflecting nature, architecture, people's work, customs. In the multifaceted creativity of the artist, in recent years, there have emerged generalized forms of chamber smoothed wood sculptures, folded and knitted small metal plastics, and miniature stone sculptures.
