Exhibition #78 – Hearth

26.11.–22.12.2021

Lokal Gallery
Annankatu 9, Helsinki

Our theme for this winter reflects heat, warmth, the home, sharing stories with our loved ones over a meal, and our primal human relationship with fire. Studies tell us that people with access to fireplaces are happier. So, to honour these wet and dark winter days, and to keep the fire from extinguishing, this exhibition is a symbolic celebration of the hearth. We invited a group of artists to interpret this theme in their respective mediums. 

Participants:

Jay Garden Jung, Juho Huttunen, Liucija Kostiva, Shan Shan Lim, Lotta Mattila, Fredrika Lindeberg, Ren Tong, Ananya Tanttu, Aurea Tanttu, Milla Vaahtera, Jaana Wahlsten

With ceramic design items by Aura Latva-Somppi and Udumbara, and jewellery by Fanni Lyytikäinen.

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.”
