SAIMI SUIKKANEN – LET’S NOT THINK ABOUT TOMORROW

Posted on 2022-09-05

Saimi Suikkanen’s paintings capture freeze-frame moments from her day-to-day existence, forming a visual diary reflecting on themes such as intimacy, human touch and friendship – things disrupted by the pandemic. Two years of COVID-imposed social isolation have changed our relationship with things we previously regarded as normal. Being deprived of social contact has been challenging for Suikkanen, for whom isolation has triggered occasional anxiety. This sense of unease finds reflection in her recent paintings.

Opposite – Eyeshadow play, 2022

Exhibition runs through to October 23rd, 2022
