Tadas Zaicikas (also known as TedyZet - Lithuanian, b. 1974) "John Lennon _between colors" acrylic, acrylic-based spray paints, and ink on canvas, 2022. A striking painting of legendary singer, songwriter, musician, and peace activist John Lennon by Tadas Zaicikas, an artist whose works have been meteorically rising in value (see Saatchi Art listings). In this piece, Zaicikas has rendered John's iconic visage with his signature wire rim round eyeglasses and wavy hair in shades of grey and black, but has surrounded this famous face with contrasting layers of vivid color - palpable paint drips of copper, black, and peach hues as well as the word "love" repeatedly spray-painted in a rainbow of colors over a ground of sapphire and violet hues - making for a mesmerizing composition. In addition, the subject's name is scrawled in a graffiti-like manner in bold black to the left and right of "the smart Beatle's" face. The painting with its magical fusion of Neo-Expressionist painterly applications and its recurring "Love" inscriptions brings to mind the music and lyrics of songs associated with John: "All You Need Is Love," "Imagine," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Day Tripper," "Paperback Writer," "I am the Walrus," "Ticket to Ride," "In My Life," "Penny Lane" and more. A mesmerizing artwork by TedyZet that brilliantly marries the musical and visual arts! Size: 24" L x 36" W (61 cm x 91.4 cm)
It is well known that John Lennon spoke, wrote, and sang about love on many occasions. The following are some poignant words from this inspirational luminary:
"If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.
"Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns it calls me on and on across the universe."
"There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life."
Tadas Zaicikas was born in Lithuania but has lived and worked in Canada, the United Kingdom, and France. He received his Master's degree from KTU in Lithuania in 1996 and has exhibited in Canada, the United States, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and South Korea. In addition, this award-winning artist recently received Contemporary Art Curator Magazine's Power of Creativity Art Prize (2021) and has been the subject of many favorable reviews such as Marie Agnes Moller's "Tadas Zaicikas- Declarations of Love!" in ART & Design, March-April-May 2022.
