NOBA Nordic Baltic contemporary art platform

Hinn is abstract and dynamic while Tuul is more powerful and brutal, even forthright. The idea of the joint exhibition is based on a fiction that is used to introduce numerous stories and abstract interpretations about our society and subconsciousness. This means that the dialogue of the artists creates a novel and idealistic utopia. The exhibition offers an original glimpse at the post-technological society where ideas about nature and artificial structures have become intertwined. A story of the contemporary society is told using a motif of an abstract island.

The paintings transform under artificial illumination and the exhibition uses lights, colours, space and sounds to play with the senses of the viewer. The project is based on the colour green that creates an aesthetic naturalistic space or a green room effect. Using the aesthetics of a charged space, an artistic composition for different senses appears.
