PEACEFUL PANIC
Johanna Sipilä
Gallery Huuto, Jätkäsaari 1
1.6.–16.6.2013
The exhibition consists of paintings completed in 2013. It is difficult to write a press release about the works because they are feelings. They are an attempt to find peace and beauty, an attempt to accept distress and uncontrollability, being alive. The name of the exhibition, “Peaceful Panic”, also refers to the actual event of painting that calls on you and demands you as something necessary and healing. Sometimes, however, peaceful panic creeps into the joy and calmness of working and for a while my own paintings become frightening and unfamiliar and I have to get to know them again to find harmony.
