What an ugly experience

In this painting of a blond woman, a green dragon-like creature emerges from her hair while repeated faces are echoed in her skin. The artist’s captivating compositions from this series are composites of imagery culled from internet memes and video games, vignettes from Baltic folklore, and Eastern European delicacies.

Vilte Fuller creates glamorous yet twisted hellscapes that paradoxically feel dystopic and nostalgic. Drawing on popular culture and using Eastern European landmarks as indeterminate backdrops, her paintings stand as historical and futuristic fictions that dissect the current state of our human psychology.

Vilte Fuller

Vilte Fuller creates glamorous yet twisted hellscapes that paradoxically feel dystopic and nostalgic. Drawing on popular culture, her Lithuanian heritage and folklore, and Eastern European cuisine, Fuller composes painterly stories that are both historical and futuristic as she coldly dissects the current state of our human psychology. Additionally, Fuller explores a fictional Eastern Europe envisioned by Western video games, television, and newspaper headlines. Liminal territories, such as the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the current decaying state of Soviet brutalist architecture, and Eastern superstitions or conspiracies, serve as indeterminate backdrops in her paintings.

Vilte Fuller was born in 1996 in Klaipeda, Lithuania, and currently resides in London, UK. She graduated from the Glasgow School of Art with a degree in Fine Art: Painting and Printmaking (2015). Fuller’s work has been exhibited at the Polina Berlin Gallery, New York; Niru Ratnam, London; superzoom, Paris; Galerie Hussenot, Paris; and Guts Gallery, London.

Fuller has mounted recent solo exhibitions at Polina Berlin Gallery in New York City, NY (2022); Niru Ratnam in London, UK (2022); and Superzoom in Paris, France (2021).

She has participated in group exhibitions such as To Bodily Go at Superzoom in Miami, FL (2022); Grand Opening at Superzoom in Paris, France (2022); The Feeling is Mutual at Galerie Hussenot in Paris, France (2022); and The Fisherman’s Dream at Ruttkowski 68 in Paris, France (2021).

Fuller was also invited to the Good Eye Projects residency (2022) and the Superzoom Residency (2022).
