In Bottom (Oral Contemplation with Bowling Ball) - Andrius Miezis plunges the viewer into a strange and humorous underwater cosmos where biology, fantasy, and surreal logic intertwine. Softly glowing organisms drift through the darkness - bulbous plants, a snail-eyed creature, and an unsettling black sphere punctuated with three holes. Each form seems both alive and artificial, as though belonging to a dream world built from fragments of the deep sea and the subconscious.

The work pulses with quiet absurdity. The bowling ball, alien yet familiar, becomes a totem of human intrusion - a symbol of misplaced purpose amid organic strangeness. The creatures surrounding it appear curious, even contemplative, mirroring the viewer’s own puzzled fascination. Miezis’s use of muted colors and velvety gradients transforms the bizarre into the serene, allowing absurdity to breathe in an atmosphere of near-reverence.

Bottom (Oral Contemplation with Bowling Ball) reveals Miezis’s talent for weaving humor and philosophy into visual poetry. It is a meditation on curiosity and coexistence, on how the foreign becomes intimate through quiet observation. Beneath its whimsical surface, the painting reflects the artist’s deeper question - what happens when human thought sinks to the depths, and the surreal becomes the natural language of contemplation?
