White Wall | Onni Alanko: On a Detour 3.–27.6.2026

Onni Alanko’s works examine the relationship between perception, memory and painting. The starting points of the works are everyday situations, spatial experiences and fragments of memory, which are transformed into ambiguous pictorial structures during artistic work. The experimental painting process is a central part of the works. Layering, experimenting, removing and rebuilding remain visible parts of the formation of the image. The end result is not predetermined, but is built guided by intuition, chance and material. The works move on the interface between the representational and the abstract. They refer to recognisable shapes and spaces, but avoid precise definition and open up space for the viewer’s own interpretation.
