BeschreibungAbsurd aesthetics is a common phenomenon in world literature, theatre and art. Most often, its target is social reality and its inconsistencies with the ideal of a harmonious state of society, so the need for the absurd aesthetics increases in those historical periods when social criticism becomes relevant. In 20th century, absurd aesthetics spread in Lithuanian literature, theatre and art as, therefore the aim of this research is to show the manifestations of the absurd aesthetics in Lithuanian contemporary art and to find out what meanings such aesthetic’s artworks generate. This way the analysis of absurd aesthetics in Lithuania is extended in order to gather the absurd aesthetics as a continuous phenomenon. The study discusses the concept of the absurd and its genesis in philosophy and various branches of art. It also reveals the expressions of absurd aesthetics in modernity and discuses the manifestations of absurd aesthetics in Soviet Lithuanian culture. Finally, the need for absurd aesthetics and the forms of artistic expression in the contemporary cultural space of independent Lithuania are analyzed. After analyzing the works of selected contemporary Lithuanian artists Tomas Daukša, Redas Diržys, Laura Garbštienė, Evaldas Jansas, Benigna Kasparavičiūtė, Česlovas Lukenskas, Andrej Polukord, Kęstutis Svirnelis and Kęstutis Šapoka, it turned out that a considerable part of the phenomenon of the absurd aesthetics is related to the trauma experienced during the years of the Soviet regime, its survival and efforts to overcome it. The other part of the artworks of absurd aesthetics reflects contemporary society and the difficulties of life in the current conditions, and is therefore closely related to social, cultural or political criticism. The use of the absurd aesthetics allows the artists to actualize critical thought in society and to highlight the absurdity that exists in reality.
