Eveliina Hämäläinen
A Night Between Years
21 January – 7 February 2016
Galleria Huuto Jätkäsaari, Jätkä 1
My works deal with moments, disappearance, change and remembering. The images contain recurring simultaneous events, overlapping landscapes as well as reflections and emptiness. The repetition, numerous horizons and internal paths within the paintings form temporal dimensions and narrative features. The themes depicted are like symbols and they are constantly changing. The themes are created from compilations of observations altered by imagination and references to real events, together forming a weave where absurd becomes possible.
The works have been created using tempera and oil on canvas and ink on paper.
