Artworks by Ieva Martinaitytė-Mediodia already in LIDF collection
Lithuanian Expatriate Art Foundation presents another one student of the famous Lithuanian artist Kes Zapkus - Ieva Martinaitytė - Mediodia.
Ieva Martinaitytė - Mediodia currently lives and works in New York. In 1992-1993 Ieva Mediodia was taking classes at visiting lector – professor Kes Zapkus in Vilnius Academy of Arts. She was a part of the group of artists of Vilnius Academy of Arts who aimed to validate unconventional artistic phenomena. Professor‘s lectures gained attention and soon became sort of a legend. Encouraged by such a phenomenon, students, including Ieva Martinaitytė - Mediodia, founded the artists' group „Good Evils“ which opposed the traditions and represented the world of art as it is.
Upon graduating from Vilnius Academy of Arts, Kaunas-born artist encouraged by their teacher Kes Zapkus left for New York to continue their studies at Hunnter College. There she met her future husband and father of their future daughter Eli.
Her exhibitions have been held in the United States, Italy, France, Romania, Finland. Her works were presented in Vilnius art gallery „Vartai“ in 2012.
