Kaisla Kuurama: The Dimness from Afar

Kaisla Kuurama's solo exhibition The Dimness from Afar delves into the psyche, traumatic memories, survival, and the inner strength of individuals in crisis situations. The exhibition consists of figurative oil paintings, where intense artificial light and darkness play as significant a role as the solitary figures within them. In these emotional, frozen moments, feelings of insecurity and experiences of violence linger in the shadows. In the dark landscapes of childhood memories, time has come to a standstill, and in place of the child, an adult now stands.

The viewer is given space to both experience and reflect on their own emotions, alternating between the role of an outside witness and a passive observer.

At the heart of it all is light and a defiant vitality that carries throughout the entire exhibition
