Oda Ivanka Tšupukka & Pasi Haaranen

Pasi Haaranen’s in the sade of the magnolia exhibition tells the story of Pasi’s decades-long passion to elevate photography to the level of painting expression. His expressive floral paintings are an expression of this ambition. When looking at the abstract works, the first impression is whether one is looking at a painting or a photograph. Haaranen has depicted flowers in his own, intense way. The images focus on the parts of the flower: the shape, the colour and the play of light. Pasi Haaranen has been working as a photographer since the 1980s, doing advertising photography, photography for art and exhibition publications.

Oda Ivanka Tšupuka’s exhibition ”Stunningly Tattered” tells the visual story of a woman who finds herself in the midst of a crisis of a violent attack by a serious illness. It tells of disintegration, integrity, the gradual reassembly of the self into a new flowering, literally part by part. Tattered is a story of a struggle in which not only life and health are at stake, but also beauty , femininity and selfhood. Chupuka’s narrative draws on her background in advertising films and street art. The artist uses the language of pop art to portray heavy themes with a bold touch.
