Donatas Tretjakovas is a Lithuanian-born, Netherlands-based artist working in performance, sculpture, video, and writing. His work dissects the horrors of the abject, inherent violence, and internal paranoia.
Using dark humor, the artist blends daily tragedy, spiritual ecstasy, and dysfunctional advertising campaign into a collage-alike body of work, gently stimulating existential doubt—an itch that bothers many and arouses a few. Undisturbed by a fictional fitness routine, an alleged anti-inflammatory diet, and a precarious housing situation, Donatas, in a nonchalant manner, continues to pick at the cuticles of common sense. No matter how you got here or where you end up, a vulture is always waiting to pick your bones.
