Exhibition Opening Sanna Karlsson-Sutisna: Paintings

You are welcome to the exhibition opening that will take place on Thursday the 29th of September at VicarART Gallery.



Information about the artist:

Sanna Karlsson-Sutisna (MA) is a dance and visual artist who graduated from the Finnish Art Academy in 1989. Her professional experience includes studies at the Berlin High School of Arts, as well as further studies in Cuba and Bali. She has focused on studying the roots of art in ritual cultures. She is best known for bringing art to everyday life by performing and sculpting in surprising places, for her environmental art, and for creating permanent “Flower of Life” art parks in Helsinki and France for children under 3 and their families. She has combined images, sculpture and dance to suffuse her performances with ritual form and multicultural elements, enriching Finnish art and everyday life. Her expert knowledge of Balinese culture and dance add depth and conviction to her work. Karlsson-Sutisna has held solo-exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions since 1979, and given dance performances in both her home country Finland (Kuopio Dance Festival) and abroad, in Germany, Denmark, Russia, Sweden, Austria, Poland, England, Indonesia and Cuba.



Karlsson-Sutisna’s art searches for an increasingly deep unity with nature. She sends roots down deep into the earth and draws on the traditions of our ancestors and her own experiences of Balinese life. Cuban and European life is also an essential part of her work as a source of power and inspiration from which new works emerge. She has been painting and sculpting from an early age; already as a 12-year-old she was painting impressionist landscapes and portraits under her father’s guidance, and she is today also known professionally as a portrait artist.

Her works are part of both public and private collections.

Eeva Rousku's intimate oil-pastel-quasse paintings shakes hands gently with Eeva Aaltio-Lumivuori's inquisitive mind made acrylic paintings. There is room for interpretation. Nature that is all around us is the value that provides us with such fruits of the earth. As long as we live in a responsible relationship of creation to redeem us the right to enjoy its fruits. This exhibition gives an honor to natures products with gratitude.

Vuoden 2011 ensimmäinen näyttely: Pia Feinikin Akvarellimaalauksia / First exhibition of 2011: Aquarelles by Pia Feinik

Minun siveltimeni on terävänä
              venäläisen pigmentin yltäkylläisessä syleilyssä 
              kieputan sen napakkaa kärkeä
ja jokaiseen hienon hienoon karvaan takerrutan 
              tislatun veden ja puhtaan värin huumaavaa seosta

My brush is keen
               in the voluptuous embrace of Russian pigment
               I twirl its pungent tip
and with every fine fine hair entangle
               the intoxicating mixture of distilled water and pure colour


Avajaiset / Opening 20.01.2011 18:00-20:00
Tervetuloa - Welcome!
