Galerie Anhava, 2024

190 x 127 cm

oil on canvas


Galerie Anhava is part of a three-painting series presented in the BFA exhibition 2024 in Academy of Fine Arts Helsinki. The subject of this series is gallery entrances. The starting point for these works is the concepts of power and network, as well as their manifestation in the relationship between subject matter, authorship, and the exhibition context. Through the depiction of gallery entrances, the paintings explore the nature and conditions of painting, including its perspectives, or the lack thereof. The relationship to the subject is ambiguous. Despite their matter-of-fact disposition, the works do not communicate directly but rather suggest. This suggestion becomes self-evident through the act of painting.
