Edvardas {Edis} Jurčys “Being Near”

“Whatever unknown part of the world end up in, Jurčys always had the ability to identify the most characteristic traits of the local inhabitants and capture the most poignant moments of existance there. He remained a tireless traveler in terms of both time and space. Journeys provide artists with the impulses that trigger their creative thinking. Unsurprisingly, the biggest collections of work were brought back from the long trips to the countries such as Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Nicaragua and Guatemala. For Jurčys, there are no truly foreign people.”
