The exhibition La condition humaine, or The Human Condition, is an experimental joint exhibition combining painting, drawing and mosaic art by Róza Turunen and Minttu Pyykkönen, whose strong inspiration is writing - therefore word art is also part of / in connection with the works.
I stand under a fountain
warm soft honey flows into the norona neck.
It's warm.
It's damp
it is the sweet lust in the air clarified by the fresh water.
Suddenly the waterfall above me is illuminated by the sun’s rays.
The incentive to be poured turns gold. The sticky touch already reaches my lower back.
The claw conquered by my bath gets a prism in the tree leaves and everywhere in the air
It lies lightly in it at the same time.
When working with works of art, the mind has had individual sentences, words, verses that contribute to the opening of the emotional experience or mental landscape and the individual experience in the light of which reality and the other are examined. Words connect us to other people, just as they create connotative blind spaces - coupled with the constructed image, it crystallizes that content and meanings can only be understood by everyone in their own way.
Visible and invisible verbal reality in perception and interpretation is linked in a way that is not unambiguous. There is the concealment and revelation of reality and emotional states, the stratification that we share.
Róza Turunen (b. 2000) lives and works in Helsinki, and in her recent production she has focused on mosaics. The works repeat the corporeality, the human connection to external reality with emotions, and the fractality that reflects the realization of the mosaics. Róza is starting his first secondary studies in the field of art at Suomenlinna Art School Maas next autumn.
Minttu Pyykkönen (b. 1995) is a visual artist living in Helsinki who works in the field of culture and art and is currently completing her studies in art education. In addition to drawing, painting and illustrations, Minttu has in recent years focused especially on realizing mural art. In works, the subject is often people, presence, symbolism, and natural mysticism.
