The theme of the Biennial – “Fragment Evolution” – is a certain consistency of elements in every artist’s creative cycle, depicting the surrounding world with its realities, revealed through the point of view of the author. In other words, it is a history of global existence and its evolution, rendered in artistic images. Definite periods and cycles can be naturally traced in every artist’s creative work, showing the development in the plot of personal history with a gradual change of mood and emotions, resulting in a finished story. It is a medium based on a certain graphic expression, with the help of which human imagination combines separate pictures into one general idea, leading from a small fragment to one whole. Therefore, the main concept of the 2nd Kaunas International Graphic Art Biennial becomes visual dynamics in graphic art.

The form of expression, prevailing in the works, is supposed to be namely that which is found in the comics. The elements of this popular genre are used to supplement the stories, rendered in different techniques of graphic art, with the text. In this way, the comics obtain a new quality, becoming an evolution of one image and an original life story, rather than remaining a sequence of pictures squeezed into frames.
