Taking part CHART Art Fair with / Start Collecting with CHART, curated selling exhibition at in Copenhagen this week 👋 :) 🌱 Lifestyle spray paint on canvas, framed 50 x 42 cm 2024 🌱 Santeri Lehto’s style can be described as minimalistic, playful and enigmatic, all at the same time. Lehto’s haiku-like paintings refer to simple forms and symbolism. The surface-level simplicity on the works reflects the riddles of everyday excistence. More info : 📷: Jussi Tiainen - -

A couple of days left to visit the group show FAA24 in The Finlayson Art Area in Tampere, Finland, with the amazing works of our painter Katja Tukiainen! Visit Katja's profile and learn more.

Are you in Spain? Gallery Espacio Marzana in Bilbao is showcasing the works of Raisa Raekallio and Misha del Val in a solo exhibition 1.3. – 19.4.2024.

Raisa Raekallio and Misha del Val's works created during the last two winters kaamos include Painting #2, the most oversized format painting the artists have made yet, measuring more than two meters high and six meters long. This enveloping composition explores the emotional and spiritual dimensions of the relationship between trees and human beings against the backdrop of arctic forests.

The Finnish word kaamos designates the polar night, the period of the Arctic winter in which the sun does not rise above the horizon. This phenomenon lasts precisely twenty-four hours in the Arctic Circle and lasts for around six weeks at the latitude of Sirkka, where the artist couple lives and works. Kaamos is a period of settlement and introspection, characterized by a magical and singular environmental phenomenology: subtle changes in light, which the abundant snow reflects everywhere; a sky that acquires capricious colors depending on the weather conditions during the few hours of semi-clarity; northern lights and sininen hetki (the blue moment) that can appear during the cold and endless arctic nights.

Espacio Marzana is a private gallery mainly focusing on promoting emerging artistic proposals while also showcasing established artists, primarily in painting.

"When Raisa and Misha paint together, a burst of unusual characters emerges from the dialogue between the two artists. The curtain opens to scenes where a crowd appears entangled in some unusual activity in a cabin retreat, in the woods, or a sauna.” Saara Hacklin, Chief Curator of Collections, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki

This Sunday, you can see stage design and costumes by our Finnish Painter Raija Malka in the CCB Temporary exhibition: a painting by Chagall and The Magic Flute by Mozart.

"We watch a show that suggests a rehearsal of the opera The Magic Flute, by Mozart, with original text by Gonçalo M. Tavares, staging by Jean Paul Bucchieri and stage design and costumes by Raija Malka. A figure, played by Miguel Loureiro, talks to the singers, telling stories about music, painting, and his life. Life is not simple, but life cannot be repeated or rehearsed. Chagall’s stage curtain is in the background. There are traces of it. There is talk of a temporary exhibition of Chagall’s stage curtain, an event. It is a show in which a rehearsal of the opera The Magic Flute is recreated and is a temporary exhibition. The singers remember the flute that saves and resolves, but the figure that walks on stage knows that, in real life, things are not like that. Nothing resolves or saves."

At the end of the show, the public is invited to see the stage curtain up close on the stage.

Hey, did you see the works of Finnish Painter Henna Aho at Salón ACME during the Mexico City Art Week 2024?

Salón Acme is an event and a platform created by artists for artists to give visibility, impulse, and dissemination to emerging creators. The 2024 show will feature talks, rooftop vinyl sessions, and exhibits by local and international artists. The Salón fosters new audiences and consolidates a community of artists, curators, and collectors.

Henna Aho navigates the aspects of expanded painting – from the traditional weaving techniques of Finnish peasants to the philosophy of new materialism and Vibrant Matter by Jane Bennett. Aho sees painting as an endless mycelium, which connects her own Barbie girl narrative to the art history and playful artistic processes of new realism.

See the solo show of the Finnish Painter Marianna Uutinen at the Miettinen Collection, Berlin, from the 4th of November, 2023, to the 13th of January, 2024.

The Miettinen Collection meets the Finnish Painter Marianna Uutinen with the exhibition Astronauts returning home. The paintings of Marianna Uutinen present a dizzying dance of energy and matter in an intimate and cosmic voltage space. The materiality of the works grows from the same source as the universe; it is an organ part of it. At this level, the importance of her works is attached primarily to what painting factually is: a living being in its materiality and endless metamorphosis. The layered acrylic paintings play with kitsch, allurement, and desire. Their colors and plasticity seduce the viewer into a perceptual game.

Visits and guided tours every Saturday between 12:00 and 18:00.

Are you in Netherlands? Finnish visual artist Roy Aurinko exhibits Frans Kasl Projects gallery 25.11.–13.1.2023.

“Oh man, how I love the science. It’s just utter beautiful how theories are put together, tested and certified. I’d like to think similar kind of method applies to my artistic work. Observation, experimentation, analysis. Every painting forms a new hypothesis and in a good day ‘If P, then Q’ happens. While I am excited about the scientific mindset, many others are not so much these days. The name of the exhibition also refers to the unintelligent atmosphere spawn by alternative facts and post-truth politics type of utter rubbish.”

Utter rubbish hypotheses is Roy Aurinko’s first exhibition in the Netherlands. His abstract paintings incorporate elements of drawing, and are created using a mixed-media technique combining oil, acrylic, pastel and cement. The work process and the feel of the material are present in Aurinko’s works, which invite the viewer to explore their relationship with the surrounding world.

The exhibition opens on Saturday, 25 November, 13-17, after that open by appointment.
