Johanna Lumme is a visual artist and illustrator (b.1990), who works mainly with painting and drawing. As an artist, she focuses on depicting the sensitive nature of the north and the experientiality of the relationship with nature. Her works have previously been exhibited in private exhibitions in Helsinki and through the Lapland artists’ association in Äkäslompolo. Lumme has participated in joint exhibitions in Finland, most recently in the visual art competition for young artists at Art Center Salmela. Abroad, her works have been presented in Estonia, Germany and Sweden. Lumme graduated with a master’s degree in art from Aalto University, School of Arts and Design.

In Johanna Lumme’s exhibition Lightness in Transition, the works depict the body's emotional experiences in the northern nature. The landscape appears as a huge rhizome, the network of which reaches out to all of us. Humans cannot function independently of this, as the body is always connected to a changing environment. The works on display delve into the themes of belonging and connection; home as a concept signifies connection to nature. The landscape is an extension of the body, where the self becomes part of the pulsating mycelium. The inevitability of the cycle of matter is everywhere; what exists never disappears, only transformation is possible.
