Severija Inčirauskaitė-Kriaunevičienė

Lithuatian artist Severija Inčirauskaitė-Kriaunevičienė applies standard floral and decorative patterns found in embroidery magazines to metallic objects like plates, spoons, lamps and even car doors. 

Employing irony, Severija conceptually neutralizes the harmfulness of kitsch’s sweetness and sentimentality.
