The paintings are a collaboration between the two artists, who took turns working on the pieces. “We transported the unfinished paintings from one studio to the other, between Helsinki and Tampere. One of us starts a painting, the other continues and together we decide when the work is complete. Painting joint works has forced both of us out of our comfort zones to approach the painting process in a new way.”
The exhibition is part of the Gallery Week Finland (Galleriaviikko), which will take place from 26 to 31 August 2025 and then annually. The programme consists of exhibitions and other events free to the public in galleries across Finland.
