Gouache paintings and Drawings
Galleria Huuto Jätkäsaari, Jätkä 2
20.8. – 4.9.2016
On the Night of the Arts the 25th of August, the artist keeps the exhibition open until 11 pm.
The themes of my works are drawing and space. Creating both separate drawing objects and spatial drawings, which alter a three-dimensional space, gets me going every time. A new empty exhibition space or a clean sheet of paper offers me an endless number of possible interpretations.
Drawing is a typical basic function for humans, also for me. It is close to writing and as the scale grows, the gesture world and bodiliness of drawing becomes more and more obvious. Moving in a space, whether two or three-dimensional, large or small, also always involves analyzing the scope and functioning of my own machine that produces images.
My tools are a silverpoint and a pencil. I paint with gouache paints. My works form a series as I create variations of a theme until it has been fully exhausted. In my latest artworks, drawing and color exist side by side. The possibilities of color variations are endless.
My exhibition at Galleria Huuto’s Jätkä 1 space in Jätkäsaari includes one large pencil drawing and one large gouache painting as well as some thirty smaller pencil drawings and gouache paintings. A spatial drawing created during the setting up of the exhibition is among the exhibits.
