The enormous canvases by the young painter Jonas Jurcikas are nourished by distrust of the present, past, and future. Everyday life is full of misunderstandings, while personal and collective memory only serves to deceive, and tomorrow is something to be afraid of. Moreover, “borrowed” images from a secondary reality of work, films, comics and advertising appear no less real than reality itself, even threatening to replace the latter.
