Matter
Galleria Huuto Jätkäsaari – Jätkä 2
13 January – 4 February 2018
Physical substance from which objects are made
The MATTER exhibition has been inspired by matter and energy. I approach the theme through the substance of a painting – as the physical appearance and movement-like metamorphosis of paint on the surface of a sheet. The thought of matter, energy and the nature of a being appear as intuitive crystallizations of the painting events and as relationships and effects of the painting elements and surfaces. However, my aim has not been to illustrate physical or philosophical theories but to build abstract slow motion reflecting on existence in the spirit of informalism while highlighting the paint matter and the painting event. The works in the exhibition are oil paintings on acrylic sheets.
Kaija Hinkula (b. 1984) completed her degree in fine arts in 2008. Her paintings have been on display most recently at a solo exhibition at Tm Galleria in 2016 and at the SKJL annual exhibition at the Riihimäki Art Museum in 2017, in addition to many other exhibitions. Her works are often inspired by nature and the cycle of life.
