Roxanne, you dont have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You dont have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne, you dont have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You dont care if its wrong or if its right
Roxanne, you dont have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you dont have to put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light
Put on the red light, oh
I loved you since I knew ya
I wouldnt talk down to ya
I have to tell you just how I feel
I wont share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I wont tell you again its a bad way
Roxanne, you dont have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you dont have to put on the red light
You dont have to put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light
Martynas Gaubas' work combines elements of Lithuanian pop art with sharp social commentary. His sculptures and installations often use humour, irony and playful provocation to address contemporary cultural habits and collective behaviour.
The sculpture "Container" presents a large yellow head, drawing a parallel between a waste bin and the human mind filled to the brim with excess information.
Like household waste, it suggests the need to sort the constant flow of thoughts, impressions and media noise.
Made of plastic, an artificial and slow-degrading material, the work becomes a metaphor for our era: ideas, like rubbish, are often left unprocessed. "Container" invites the viewer to consider how much of what we carry in our minds is meaningful, and how much is simply noise.
"Art is the provocation for talking about enigma and the search for sense in human life. One can do that by telling a story or writing about a fresc by Giotto or studying how a snail climbs up a wall."
John Berger
Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations. Stencil graffiti, wheatpasted poster art or sticker art, and street installation or sculpture are common forms of modern street art. Video projection, yarn bombing and Lock On sculpture became popularized at the turn of the 21st century.
The terms "urban art", "guerrilla art", "post-graffiti" and "neo-graffiti" are also sometimes used when referring to artwork created in these contexts.[1] Traditional spray-painted graffiti artwork itself is often included in this category, excluding territorial graffiti or pure vandalism.
Street art is often motivated by a preference on the part of the artist to communicate directly with the public at large, free from perceived confines of the formal art world.[2] Street artists sometimes present socially relevant content infused with esthetic value, to attract attention to a cause or as a form of "art provocation".[3]
Street artists often travel between countries to spread their designs. Some artists have gained cult-followings, media and art world attention, and have gone on to work commercially in the styles which made their work known on the streets.
From the Wikipedia entry: Tarantula hawk wasps are relatively docile and rarely sting without provocation. However, the sting—particularly that of P. grossa—is among the most painful of all insects, though the intense pain only lasts about five minutes.[9] One researcher described the pain as "...immediate, excruciating, unrelenting pain that simply shuts down one's ability to do anything, except scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations."
Male robins are noted for their highly aggressive territorial behaviour. They will attack other males that stray into their territories, and have been observed attacking other small birds without apparent provocation. Wikipedia.

A white sculpture in public space almost appears to be a provocation, which is part of this work. The white color suggests purity and vulnerability of the MASK, which contrasts with the filth of the city, especially at this busy place, it is exposed to every day. The shape of a chimera symbolizes the challenges caused by pollution that humans and animals are equally facing and affected by. The 4m high sculpture is made of synthetic resin plates that have been formed earlier with a clay model and have been attached later to a metal frame

The work "The Virgin Unveiled" presents itself as a visual and conceptual provocation. The artist, with a desecrating intent, draws on an imagery deeply rooted in Western culture: the iconography of the Madonna offering her heart. However, traditional sacredness is deconstructed here, dismantled to be reassembled in a new and ambivalent form.
The image evokes a sense of vulnerability and revelation; the female figure, almost completely immersed in shadow, loses its distinctive features, becoming an archetype of suffering humanity. The heart, projected onto her skin like a flickering flame, is the emotional core of the work; it is a symbol of love, passion, but also of pain and fragility. The pose of the hands, protecting or offering the heart, suggests an internal conflict, a struggle between the desire to give and the need to defend oneself.
The framing is frontal, almost hieratic, recalling traditional representations of the Madonna. However, the absence of a defined face and the soft lighting create an atmosphere of mystery and ambiguity.
The predominance of dark red in the background creates a feeling of oppressive, almost claustrophobic heat. The color can be interpreted as a symbol of passion, but also of suffering and sacrifice. The use of chiaroscuro accentuates the contrast between the female figure and the luminous heart, drawing the viewer's attention to the most significant detail.
The heart is the central symbol of the work; its projection on the skin suggests a profound and intimate connection between the body and emotions. The absence of a face in the female figure can be interpreted as a desire to universalize the experience of pain, making it accessible to all viewers.
The nudity of the female figure is a key element in the demystification of traditional iconography: the Madonna is often depicted in sumptuous robes and lavish decorations, but here her image is stripped of all artifice, revealing a raw and authentic vulnerability. The work could be part of an artistic movement that deconstructs religious symbols to explore themes of identity, sexuality, and power. Echoes of artists such as Marlene Dumas, known for her raw and direct depictions of the female body, and Tracey Emin, who often uses autobiographical and provocative elements in her work, can be found.
"The Virgin Unveiled" is a complex and thought-provoking work that invites the viewer to question the meaning of religious symbols and the nature of human experience. The desecration of traditional iconography is not an end in itself, but serves to create a space for reflection and openness to new interpretations of the sacred and the profane. The image leaves us with a sense of unease and wonder, inviting us to look beyond appearances and confront our most intimate vulnerability.
Also do not lose to the provocation, also strength ....
It had much look at the situation, but did not become eventually fight.
挑発に負けないのも、またつよさ…。
しばらく様子をみていましたが、結局ケンカにはなりませんでした。
I don’t know who painted it or why. A red dot is loud, imperfect, cracking and plastered across the bark of a tree. It drew me in.
This image works because it sits between natural and artificial, intention and erosion. The bark is still bark, but the paint transforms it by flattening some areas, deepening others. Texture becomes surface. Surface becomes symbol. And the colour? It doesn't settle. It pulses.
It’s a graphic abstraction born from something ordinary. A mark without meaning, made meaningful through the act of noticing.
