Upside down

Patrice choosed a fascinating theme for this week´s DC ( drawing challenge ): Upside down.

Art is often about things that upset, are twisted  - about things that are upside down.

At first Georg Baselitz came to my mind with his bold and strong paintings.

Then I remembered a work called State of Readiness by a sculptor Heli Ryhänen. She is a wonderful artist and  great teacher:)

I have been taking photos of reflections which turn the view upside down.
And I found my "self portrait" ( oil on  metal plate, 2013 ) lying on a shelf - upside down:)

Trash

 

Today  I saw two fascinating and unique exhibitions.
At first I went to Saskia Gallery.

There were on display Pälvi Hanni`s works: very airy, luminous, delicate graphics.

After that I went to Tampere Art Museum to see something very different:

the young artist of the year -exhibition.

Actually, this year the young artist is a artist couple Nabb+Teeri.

They use found objects and waste materials in their installations. Their works are very much art of the day by the themes, too. I found their colors and ideas clever and  funny in a twisted way.

After the exhibit I looked at the world in a new way, see the photos above.

Summer in the City

It has been exceptionally hot lately. Unfortunately we could not go to the seaside- 

Instead  I had a wonderful day in town (Tampere) with our son and grandson. 

And a lake is ok when sea is not available:)

Food is for all senses to enjoy.
There are also issues that make me worry. I try to pick products that are natural, ecologically friendly and fair trade.
