The project acts as an internal dialogue with the artist’s earlier solo exhibitions „The Space Behind the Face” (Tartu Centre for Creative Industries, 2020) and „My Space” (Fahle Gallery, Tallinn, 2020) that used the methods of sneering surrealism to approach the hardships of being a human and to reconstruct spaces in the two dimensions available to painting. The present exhibition focuses on the subconscious, the human stereotypes and the curiosities of contemporary life (including art life and social media) in a cheerful and ironic manner that unwittingly also includes some melancholy notes.
The artist adds: “The idea of the exhibition is to strike a truce with the inevitability of being a human by asserting the ridiculousness of life and without becoming a nihilist in the process. The works are inspired by everyday moments that feel like excerpts from fictitious narratives and whose seeming meaninglessness hides stereotypes and Jungian archetypes. The lax associations between the works are formed into a bizarre constellation by schematic drawings made onto the walls of the gallery.”
Eva Elise Oll (b 1988) has studied painting in the Tartu Art College and art history at the University of Tartu. Her dense canvases often contain distorted perspectives and Modernist elements. She frequently includes collage in her works. Oll has had ten solo exhibitions but this is the first one in the Tartu Art House.
The exhibitions of the Tartu Art House are supported by the Tartu Town Government and the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
