We can feel the mood of this painting without even knowing its title. A summer evening by the sea. A hair-tousling wind that we can hear in the outstretched windsock and the vertical brushstrokes scurrying off. Though Rimvidas Jankauskas-Kampas once said in an interview that he “could care less” what audiences thought of his work, he nevertheless always tried to ease our way into his paintings. Even as he drew closer to abstraction, Kampas never fully abandoned the use of even the most minimal, yet still recognizable, narratives.
