A hopeful look to the future

Unity

There is no argument with beauty and no coin that can bribe the Muse. From her childhood in Lithuania, Jurgita Gerlikaite has followed an artistic vision that has led her from her homeland, to the shining and impossible towers of Dubai and now to London’s time-stained streets.

Here in the world’s greatest city, she has created her “London Series” from the fresh perspective of a stranger in a city of a million strangers. A confluence of peoples and cultures, a merging of waters and languages where the past and present intersect in planes of light and colour, where the neon metropolis is superimposed on the face of a thousand years of history.

In this dreamlike series of beautiful images, she captures the ancient soul of London, woven from cabals and whispers, fates and futures sealed with the nod of a head, power and intrigue, the new being born in the fires of struggle and change.

The “London Series” celebrates the spirit of London, England: A hopeful look to the future, richly imbued with a colourful past.
