On the left, there is a young boy sitting on a bench, drawing a tiger, while on the right a grown-up artist is doing the same. This small-scale photography work by Icelandic artist Hreinn Fridfinnsson inspired Marko Vuokola and Jyrki Siukonen to curate an exhibition entitled Drawing a Tiger.
Drawing A Tiger brings together artworks that examine what distinguishes two moments from each other. Recurring themes explored in the works include time, motion, observation, and recurrence – things that we use to distinguish this from that, but which also allow us to recognise them as essentially the same. The exhibition has a conceptual basis, but these concepts are simple and mundane. The artworks in the exhibition include both classics and works produced by young artists. The oldest works on display have been produced by Lauri Anttila and Markku Kivinen.
