02. 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.” – “I am fascinated by the dynamics of seeing, observing and understanding. Through art, it is easier to explore inexplicable structures and semiotic associations - deformities, which have always interested me.”

02. ‘The exhibition brings together a series of paintings by Linda Linko that reflect sensitivity, the passage of time, transience, and a sense of incompleteness. Created over several years, the works are connected by a shared sense of landscape and composition. Classical themes are approached with a free and distinctive visual language.’
