DEEPER THAN SURFACE – Maire Gullichsen and Modernism Series
Curated and realized in co-operation by Pori Art Museum’s exhibition and educational unit
The exhibition brings together artists from different generations whose works contain stylistic features familiar from surrealism. The unrestrained power of the paintings by Jyrki Riekki wells up from the deep recesses of the human unconscious. By juxtaposing deformations, different materials and fragments of objects, he creates a surprising world that may sometimes seem disconcerting to the contemporary viewer. The exhibition consists of paintings, drawings and sculptures from the collections of the Pori Art Museum.
