Inari Krohn: Metsässä ja puutarhassa

The first autumn exhibition at Gallery Pictor, entitled Yhteinen aika, is a joint exhibition by two painters from Vihti, Jukka Nopsanen and Tapani Tamminen. The exhibition brings together works created in Vihti to spend time side-by-side. In addition to the works, the exhibition includes various documents from the artists' careers.

The artists are united by their desire to reach beyond the understanding of the everyday. Nopsanen is a mystic and a romantic, while Tamminen's works emphasise their airy and fluid multi-sensory space. The two artists began exhibiting at relatively the same time, Nopsanen in 1970 and Tamminen in 1966.

Jukka Nopsanen's (b.1950) paintings often combine figuration with abstract mosaic surfaces. For Nopsanen, art is a means of exploration and observation, a way to access the miraculous, the experiential, the everyday, dreams and the sacred. For him, the display of beauty, the sublime and the spiritual are infinitely important elements of his art and artistry. Nopsanen has also painted numerous portraits.

Tapani Tamminen's (b.1937) paintings are abstract. Their abstract language is soft and flowing. The forms contain many references to figurative, representational and recognisable objects. Tamminen's ability to combine colours and find shades is skilful. Tamminen is not only a painter but also a composer and musician. It is therefore easy to see references to music in Tamminen's paintings.
