Mari Roosvalt and Tiiu Pallo-Vaik, lecturers of the Art
Academy of considerable length of teaching service, who have always
considered their creative aspirations and means of expression close,
expose together for the first time at a joint exhibition. |
|
Both artists expose series of water-colours, neglecting
the academic way of using of the technique. Habitually we see
water-colours usually in small formats, being set into a frame and a
passe-partout under glass. But Mari Roosvalt and Tiiu Pallo-Vaik use
large formats and have fastened the water-colour paper similarly to oil
painting on a frame. The soft line of water-colours combines in the format
and formation of oil painting in the pictures with the collage elements,
creating in addition to the contextual perfection of the works also a
technically original art experiment. |
|
On the abstract composition of Mari Roosvalt the painted
motifs of nature blend with the photo fractions, taken by the author
herself. In her works Roosvalt continues the theme of relationship of
chaos and order of the world, started in oil paintings by her already some
years ago, using the softness, directness and emotionality of the
water-colour technique. |
|
Besides the emotional abstractions that are presented
under titles \"Bouquet\", \"Between the earth and the sky\", etc., Tiiu
Pallo-Vaik paints the reminiscent architecture of Venice and Rome,
dispersing realistic elements into the painting background. On
large-format, extraordinary water-colour paintings the colour is for the
professional an artistic means, with which she expresses her sensitive
relationship towards the surroundings. |
|
Two contemporaries, being in the command of the academic
basis of painting, surprise exhibition visitors with the creative
searching courage of mature artists. The similar, sublimated world vision
of two artists and its feminine soft way of expression creates an
emotional integrate of the exhibition, the atmosphere of which carries the
viewer away already from the very first
sight. |
