Jenni Hiltunen: Tears are My Butterflies

Jenni Hiltunen: Tears are My Butterflies
Galerie Forsblom August 23-September 22, 2024
Gender stands front and center in the oeuvre of Jenni Hiltunen. She portrays female figures that mirror her personal experiences and her existence in the body of a girl and woman. Over the years, her personal life has crept into her art to a growing degree, not directly as autobiography or self-portraiture, but through the depiction of her inner reality. Some of the characters in her paintings represent the artist and her friends and loved ones, while others are imaginary or fictive characters, like proposals for possible realities.
Hiltunen’s art is by no means limited solely to dealing with gender themes...

JASON MARTIN: REDUX

Просмотров 867 месяцев назад

Jason Martin: REDUX Galerie Forsblom March 22-April 21, 2024 Jason Martin is a painter whose practice is steeped in materiality and self-reflexive questioning of painting as an art form. His work gives a visible form to the processes by which both painting and sculpture come into being. This visualization of the process is epitomized by his monochromatic, three-dimensional pigment pieces, which...

Interview with Emanuel Seitz

Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Год назад

Emanuel Seitz focuses on the basic elements of painting - color, form, and composition. The paintings are like studies of the synergy between these elements. Seitz paints on rough burlap, which enables the use of very thin paint. Painting on burlap is like painting on wood: the paint stays fixed in one place and does not run. Seitz is also fond of the color of burlap: the dark shade of the fabr...

Food is a frequent subject in Riiko Sakkinen’s art, but the new exhibition is his first devoted wholly to alimentary themes. Sakkinen tackles this topic in his distinctive parodic style, examining various eating-related issues through a lens of incisive social critique. The connecting ketchup-colored thread is the exuberant way Sakkinen simultaneously parades a multitude of beliefs, ideologies,...

Marika Mäkelä's (b. 1947) latest paintings are the fruit of a three-year process - a time long enough to span many seasonal cycles and shifting states of mind. Mäkelä's new works are a form of journaling, a painted diary recording her thoughts, dreams, and things she has seen and experienced. According to the artist, they are paintings about painting. They offer a way of dialoguing with herself...

Stephan Balkenhol's exhibition 'Yellow - Blue - Red' at Galerie Forsblom, May 6 - June 5, 2022. German sculptor Stephan Balkenhol (b.1957) portrays human figures with archaic, raw-hewn spontaneity. His anonymous figures stand formally like monuments on pedestals, their faces expressionless, yet something about their bearing conveys an undercurrent of intensity as if they were absorbed in deep, ...

Reima Nevalainen: Remnant

Просмотров 1212 года назад

Reima Nevalainen’s (b. 1984) use of collage and décollage is intimately connected to the thematic content of his paintings. What we see on the canvas are vestiges of a complex process of cutting, ripping, and erasing. For Nevalainen, painting is a way of scrutinizing physical reality and the way we perceive it - painting is an antidote to the disembodied stream of images that consumes our daily...

In her latest works, Jenni Hiltunen (b.1981) has surrendered herself to the painting process with gleeful abandon, permitting herself to play with different techniques and binge on delicious colors. The title of her new show, Purple Grass, quite literally reflects how this is a painting exhibition in the truest sense of the word. Her compositions are more simplified than ever before, consisting...
