HORNET SIGNS PETPUNK

Hornet Inc is extremely excited to welcome PetPunk to its roster. PetPunk is the creative collaboration of Andrius Kirvela & Gediminas Šiaulys. Hailing from the Balitc Sea, this directing duo grew up in Lithuania while it was still part of the USSR. This has created a narrow but unique experience of living in both Eastern and Western cultures and thus influencing their aesthetic perception.

Creatively interested in illustration, motion graphics and animation, their creative pursuit is to produce authentic and visually challenging yet peculiarly subtle work. This is seen in their experimental exploration in between regular aesthetic areas and the blending of digital and real life features into unscrupulous, rough, provoking and still solid imagery. As they call it: handmade by computer. Building upon these ideals, they move outside of the digital to create exhibitions such as 'Pagan Lullaby', an art installation at the General Public Gallery in Berlin during the 3rd PICTOPIA festival.

 

Infused with spontaneity, humor, brightness and unique perception, their work has been receiving praise at festivals such as Onedotzero and awards such as the European Design Awards in 2009. Hornet will offer Petpunk a platform to continue to push beyond the conforms of standard aesthetics and the production capabilities to dig deeper into their art of combining mixed media, real life and the digital world.

"It is just our world, our inner feelings and approach to the life we are living in."
                                     - Andrius and Gediminas

"Biciulyste--" (bee-buddies)/(joint possession of bees) was considered to be sacred subject, blessed by the goddess Austeja. Often it lasted until the death of one of the bee-buddies. Friendship ties were strong and persistent, exhibited by reciprocal aid in all areas, sincerity, and trust. In the old days bee-buddies were most assiduous devotees of the goddess Austeja.
