The idea behind the exhibition is not based on some old fashioned need to distinguish current trends in painting according to one criteria. Rather, the intention has been to steal a chance to concentrate and to give these paintings enough room, enough space to exist and to happen.
Artists include: Sini Anttila-Rodriguez, Emanuel Bernstone, Eeva-Riitta Eerola, Ville Laaksonen, Marjolaine Lombard, Ivar Lövheim, Stephen Parise, Mia Saharla, Petra Tiisala, and Jouni Ton.
On view: July 25th – September 7th

‘ve got lots of special guest musicians sitting in, such as a guitarist, our trumpet player is back and a couple of harp players. Of course we will have our usual band, keys, sax, bass and drums…so it should be a fantastic show.
