I want to present a sculpture called "King of the Night". It may seem to me, like many, that he has already been seen somewhere. Not surprisingly, it can be compared somewhat to the evil of the HBO series Wars of the Thrones. When I was creating the sculpture, I kept thinking about it. Of course, I created from what I had, so it’s not identical, but similarities can be discovered. I constructed the sculpture and looked for details for about 7 months. It weighs 13kg. and is made of metal only. The main parts range from various motorcycles, scooters and bicycles. I also used old household utensils. The parts are connected with screws and rivets. I didn’t use painting this time because I wanted the work to look original and understandable to everyone. I like it, I hope you like it too.
Parts used:
Body – motorcycle engine guards, scooter engine cylinder, motorcycle rim parts, bicycle brake parts, aluminium dishes
Head – motorcycle and bicycle wheel guards made of aluminium, clock movements, ladle, trumpet valves, etc.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

Artūras Tamašauskas is a "Steampunk" Lithuanian sculptor. His sculptures are exceptional, each unique and distinctive. Tamašauskas describes his sculptures as concrete, clear and at the same time asking them to look for what is invisible to the eye and to think about them. They are like living interior elements.

Tamašauskas is using the most diverse materials for work starting from wares, antiquarians and ending with rubbish that is useless. He is transforming an item that was thrown and useless, giving it the opportunity to exist in a new shape, in a new form, new existence in artistic expression. Steampunk style lovers from Lithuania, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Sweden, France, Poland, USA and Australia have some of his works in their private collections.

Artūras Tamašauskas was born in 1963, in Lithuania, and he has exhibited his works all across the country.
