Homme libre, toujours tu chériras la mer !
La mer est ton miroir ; tu contemples ton âme 
Dans le déroulement infini de sa lame, 
Et ton esprit n’est pas un gouffre moins amer. 
– Charles Baudelaire 

Free man, you will always cherish the sea! 
The sea is your mirror; you contemplate your soul
In the infinite unrolling of its billows; 
Your mind is an abyss that is no less bitter. 
– Charles Baudelaire (Translation: William Aggeler) 

The exhibition by Isabel Pathirane and Ilkka Pitkänen entitled Vedenpintoja… (Billows…) explores the movement of the landscape and the sea. In their works the tradition of fine arts and romantic landscape art take on new forms. The exhibition includes paintings and media art, as well as works that blur the boundaries between different art forms. 

The work of Ilkka Pitkänen is supported by the Alfred Kordelin Foundation.
