NEW EXHIBITION: : MARTIN LUTS - A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE

VIEW THE EXHIBITION HERE

Martin Luts has found a personal challenge in geometric forms, painting mathematically precise objects that relate to one another from different viewpoints, as if asking whether perspective itself can transform an object into something else, or whether such apparent transformation exists only in the eyes and minds of the viewer. More broadly, the exhibition engages with questions of perception, whether through the optical illusions generated by Luts’s geometry or the shifts in thought that emerge from the viewer’s own analytical process.

The artist presents a series of works inspired by the same geometric form, creatively varying the point of view: front, back, side, or direct view; large, small, or medium-sized. Through his meticulous approach, he invites viewers to think alongside him and to exhaust the possibilities of a single visual vocabulary—if such possibilities can ever truly be exhausted.

aus Gallery’s art auction season has ended. Thank you to all participants.

Haus Gallery’s art auctions proceeded as expected. It was especially encouraging to see the highest number of registered participants to date and such active exhibition attendance. The auction once again leaves a trace in our archive as part of art history, marking the time, preferences, and market conditions, and documenting the kind of art that resonates with people today and that the gallery considers valuable.

Listen to the auction podcast, where we discuss the 1990s in Estonian art with Eero Epner, as well as artists Mall Niukke, Siim-Tanel Annus, and Marko Mäetamm. Explore the catalogue, accompanied by aphorisms from Estonian writers.

New auctions will take place already this autumn.

NEW EXHIBITION: MARKUS KASEMAA – INTO DARKNESS

VIEW THE EXHIBITION HERE

Markus Kasemaa’s exhibition at Haus Gallery, titled Into Darkness, presents paintings created between 2023 and 2026. The works are drawn from the series Bright, Dark, and Grey. In assembling the exhibition, the artist focused primarily on the interplay of tones in his oeuvre, exploring their harmony both conceptually and formally.

NEW EXHIBITION: NINA DOSHE - CROWNED WITHIN HERSELF

VIEW THE EXHIBITION HERE

The exhibition “Crowned Within” is a meaningful, sensitive, and thoughtful exploration of the world of womanhood, revealed through royal metaphors—elegant figures, lush bouquets of flowers, and architecture aspiring toward height—alongside a distinctly academic, realistic yet personally metaphysical style of painting.

NEW EXHIBITION: LAURENTSIUS - OVERVIEW

Laurentsius’s newly completed selection of works is exhibited in Haus Gallery’s black-walled hall that absorbs ambient light, allowing the inner atmosphere of the artist’s color landscapes to resonate with particular intensity.

In his paintings, Laurentsius characteristically brings together two opposing worlds — the extremely abstract and the extremely hyperrealistic. Mastering a filigree painting technique, he is able to create between them a peculiar shared space, a clear dialogue between something and nothing, where photographically highlighted elements are set against diffused color fields that follow the movement of the brush.

In this vein, the exhibition presents the series “The Sea, Perhaps…”, in which the painting surfaces are streaked with tentatively abstract sea colors, suggesting the perceived tones of water rather than the literal reality of the sea. Yet the water gains additional layers of meaning through ultra-realistic tree branches interwoven into the compositions, casting delicate shadow spaces across the paintings.

NEW EXHIBITION: JAAN ELKEN – WHITE / HEAVEN AND EARTH 2

Jaan Elken’s abstractions, at once intellectual and sensory, have become embedded in our artistic reality, opening through each of the artist’s solo exhibitions their own profound dimensions of inner and outer spatial contemplation. The manifestations of Elken’s art are expectations of experience, observational events in which the deeply personal and the profoundly existential intertwine into a single visual enigma — a sense of boundlessness within a harmonious whole of various sign systems. Words, lines of text, fragments of color and colorlessness, textures, proximities and distances — like life itself, where fact and its relativity coexist, where what is seen in reality becomes a later inner interpretation, whose artistic expression forms an entirely new reality.

CONVERSATION EVENING WITH VANO ALLSALU

On September 10th, a painting exhibition by Vano Allsalu titled The Mystery of Blooming opened at Haus Gallery. As part of the exhibition, a conversation evening with the artist will take place on September 24th at 6:00 PM, hosted by Peeter Laurits.

SOON IN THE GALLERY: VANO ALLSALU – THE MYSTERY OF BLOOMING

On September 10th at 6 pm, a painting exhibition by Vano Allsalu titled The Mystery of Blooming will open at Haus Gallery. As part of the exhibition, there will be an evening discussion with the artist on September 24th at 6 pm, hosted by Peeter Laurits.

In the exhibition The Mystery of Blooming, Vano Allsalu explores the enigma of growth, flowering, and decay by delving into the anatomy of a flower bouquet. From this, a clenched fist or a mushroom cloud might emerge – a barely discernible human head or a flower within a flower, like the illusion of infinity created by mirrors facing each other. At times, the bouquet resembles stems forming a skeleton, covered by leaves and petals like a vegetal body. Then, weeds seem to take over, and the unstoppable momentum of growth envelops the more delicate parts of the flowers. In some paintings, emptiness seems to thirst for flowers that are only just beginning to take shape amidst the colorful chaos.

IN FOCUS: LINDA KITS-MÄGI

Haus Gallery’s "In Focus" highlights artworks, artists, and themes in artworks that we find especially significant – both in the current moment and from the perspective of art history. These focus selections are ever-changing and reflect the gallery’s long-standing experience in art appreciation, analyses and expertise.  This time the spotlight is on artist Linda Kits-Mägi.

SOON IN THE GALLERY: RETI SAKS. SHAPES

Reti Saks' exhibition will open at Haus Gallery on August 12, 2025.

The talented and acclaimed Reti Saks, born in Pärnu, has a distinctive artistic voice in both book and free graphic art as well as sculpture. It is bronze sculpture, however, that takes center stage in this exhibition: Reti Saks. Shapes. Yet what is shaped through sculpture is, much like Saks’ pictures, narrative, otherworldly and dreamlike – poetic, but also psychological and lifelike. All the little sculptures stand alone on stones, but according to the artist, they are "one family, originating from the same fantastical picture-world: Maybe they will even start walking around the room if someone blows on them…”
