About the Item

"Adam & Eve Triptych" is a contemporary painting with surrealist elements such as the eyes in the clouds, the unknown and unknowable creatures painted and the biblical scene alluded to by the title. There is a definite Hieronymus Bosch attitude expressed by the creature in the first panel and the last panel. The sweetest creature is Eve as a very young, but nonetheless, suspicious and perhaps manipulative woman. Renata Palubinskas was born in 1968 in Kaunas, Lithuania, at the time still in the Soviet Union as the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic. She received her diploma in Fine Art and Restoration from St. Zukas Technium of Applied Arts in 1989. After working at the M.K. Ciurlionis State Museum of Art, she emigrated to the United States in the 1990s, basing herself in Detroit. Renata's work rethinks historic iconography while intentionally addressing the modern world through a new perspective. The characters in her paintings are often caught between the struggle of good and evil. That struggle represents the choice of trying to obtain immediate gratification or realization of the self, and the haunting life experiences with latent possibilities for death. Renata uses schematic compositions with purposefully positioned figures and other visual elements. To attract attention to the most significant figures, she often ornate their garments with intricate patterns. They are typically placed in either a serene landscape or an interior setting with a threatening presence around them. Her work has been exhibited in Collected Detroit, the Devos Convention Center, the Scarab Club, the Arka Gallery in Vilnius, the Monkute Mars Museum, the Oakland University Gallery, the Charles Wustum Museum of Fine Arts, the Byron Roche Gallery, and Gallerie Camille.
