TRIBAL FOXES
Only nine large-format works from Urmas Viik's new graphic art collection create a compellingly mystical atmosphere in Haus Galeri's velvet-black exhibition hall. The strange figures of the artist's self-mythological tribal foxes on a white paper surface intertwine animal and man, who meet on the common existential ground created by a primitive but subtle intellectual feeling - in a space where emotions of colors are dictated by the rhythms that arise in the viewer themselves, which are attractively provoked by the poses, glances and inner tensions of the tribal foxes.

INTERIOR DESIGN AND EXHIBTION: TIMELESS AND HARMONIOUS
SWEDBANK, MAIN BUILDING, PRIVATE BANKING DEPARTMENT, 11TH FLOOR
Klick on the paintings and see them in interior.
The harmony of colors and their contrasts are the basis of artistic creation, like the line of notes in music. The color music of Estonian contemporary painting will be heard in the winter months at another exhibition in the private banking rooms of Swedbank's main building. As usual, this exhibition has also been completed in cooperation with the bank's long-time partner Haus Galeri.

TIME GREETINGS
Tallinn and Tartu have still created opposing or comparable artistic communities. The history of art education is remarkably pro-Tartu, as the Pallas School of Art, founded in this city in 1919, has set the tone and impetus for the development of Estonian professional art education in general. Later, artistic life concentrated more in the capital, painting styles and artists' handwriting began to differ significantly. However, for some reason, Tartu is still marked when a great creator is from this city or lives and works there - while Tallinn has not been emphasized as much. Tartu is and will remain special with its intellectual spirituality to such an extent that it is as if dutifully accompanying artists and celebrating something important.

NUMBERED LANDSCAPES
Urmas Pedanik belongs to the group of like-minded designers, architects and artists who appeared on the art scene in the 1960s and 70s, who stubbornly and intelligently opposed the then prevailing social realist requirements. Hyperrealism/photorealism, with which reality was subtly exaggerated, was one of those artistic expressions that created its own realities by opposing the governmentaly side of Soviet art. In addition, the minds and works of young artists were dominated by modern technologies and figurative thinking.

MARE VINT
Elements, Lines, Landscapes, Thoughts - Mare Vint throughout her creations
Minimalist landscapes with architectural elements, circular and rectangular shapes, lines that move across the surface of the paper, inviting the viewer’s eye to draw along with them – these are the visual keywords of the work of Mare Vint, who has now passed away. The exhibition at the Haus Gallery, which spans two floors, is dedicated to Mare’s memory on the month of her birthday in September. Both familiar works and those that invite us to listen to the more unique voices of Mare’s work are on display.

MARKO MÄETAMM
FLOWERS FROM THE END OF THE WORLD
Doomsday flowers? What kind of flowers are these? Marko Mäetamm knows. Standing somewhere on the edge of the world during one creative moment, he watched what was happening in front of him – in the garden of the end of the world, where the doomsday flowers were blooming. About his experience, Marko later writes: ‘It was a very strange plant. Otherwise like a tulip, but in the evenings a black hand stretched out from it, with fingers full of large, expensive-looking rings…’. These are the kind of visionary stories Marko has painted and written about sixteen strange plants, which are like flowers on the one hand, but on the other, they are everything else.

WAR AGAINST THE WAR
War Against War – this is the title of the exhibition of paintings by Liivia Leškin, at Haus Gallery. The titles of exhibitions, movies, books, musical works, and other similar works make us relate to one theme or another and make us think or not. The titles are not prescriptive, they are merely indicative, leaving the audience with a choice. There are also those to which we want to say no, but which may mask more than we think. Art invites openness and always has. Various coloured surfaces provide the viewer with deeper ways of thinking about the world, formulating the meanings of expressions that are often taken in a limited way.

ABSTRACT REVELATION
Abstract revelation! Abstractionism in arts has taken many different forms over time, and today we no longer doubt its existence; rather, we ponder what in abstractionism speaks to us more or less, what colours and textures inspire us or what kind of abstractionism our consciousness/subconscious can or cannot grasp. Toomas Altnurme’s paintings and sculptures also speak to us, in which we look for the personal intrigue and peculiarities of today’s artistic expression.

Juss Piho
Above and Below
The title of Juss Piho's exhibition "Above and Below" becomes a play on words – Piho's works are exhibited throughout the two halls of the gallery on two floors, inviting you to take a look both above and below - where the gaze leads one to experience the immeasurable nature of inspiration and the gravity of the materializing world.

Tarmo Roosimölder
CONTINUITY
Tarmo Roosimölder is a unique person and creator. The artist's meaningful silences in the paintings alternate with eloquent explanations of how he views the reality of life through his works. "Don't start talking to me here, or I'll talk about my pictures for too long," says Roosimölder, hanging up the artworks on the walls in Haus Gallery exhibition hall.

Uno Roosvalt
Only Paintings
The coastal landscape has been the main focus of Roosvalt's work since his studies. He draws his motifs from the harsh and crisp Nordic nature, choosing distant places as travel destinations in addition to the islands and coasts of Estonia. Roosvalt's work has precision and monumentality, (national) romance, and eternity. Of course, the artist's way of expression has changed somewhat over the years, but the clarity of the image, the serious, brisk, and committed relationship to what is depicted still remain decisive.
