Exhibition #57 – Maa

Katy Hertell & Jari Huhta

28.2.–31.3.2019

According to Immanuel Kant, beauty is not the quality we see in a peace of art or in nature, but a state of mind.

Katy Hertell’s and Jari Huhta’s exhibition MAA makes us reflect about how we perceive beauty, the spontaneous experience we can have both in art and nature.
Katy Hertell is inspired in her ceramic works by the innocence and beauty she experiences in small children and in nature. The aesthetics in Jari Huhta’s oil paintings touches on our perception of classic beauty. The ‘maa’ that unites the artists in this exhibition is the intimate contact with nature, with the art works and with ourselves. MAA is a place that does not exist, but comes alive through the experience.

4.4.–24.5.2025 The works in Linda Linko’s and Milla Vaahtera’s exhibition form a common perspective on making art – through joy and a deep exploration of forms. Their work is united by a striving for optimism, without forgetting sensitivity. Both also perceive colours and shapes in the same way as typography. “We see the foot, the ends, the curve, the gravity and the relations – the positive and negative space. Eventually, the boundaries between typography, landscape painting, portraiture and glass sculpture fade awaym, as long as you look closely enough.”

28.2.–29.3.2025 “Through carving, I aim to reveal the unseen essence of wood. Every mark, texture, and cut represents my reflections on the material, inviting viewers to connect with the wood's silent yet hidden language. Each artwork is a record of thinking through making, where each piece embodies my study of the nature of wood itself.”
