Bareikis Aidas

Aidas Bareikis (born October 4, 1967) is a Lithuanian artist, currently working in the United States. In 1993 he received a scholarship and moved to America. Between 1993 and 1997 he studied at Hunter College in New York, graduating with an MFA. In 2000 he exhibited at the Berlin Contemporary Art Center and at the Eleni Koroneou Gallery in Athens. The New York Times describes his work as "sprawling, grotesque yet artfully color-coordinated messes of found objects, paint, wax, foam, plastic, scrap wood and many other materials. His installations have an impressive physical impact; but, with one exception, there is a formless one-note monotony about them."
