Marianna Uutinen | Trans

31.01.–14.03.2015

In the adjacent exhibition room to the group exhibition I hear your voice reflected in a glass and it sounds like it is inside of me, corresponding themes of distortion, sensuality, action and erasure play out in new abstract painting by gallery artist Marianna Uutinen. Using her signature technique, Uutinen fuses together thick layers of acrylic paint, building up a skin-like structure which is then draped across the surface of a traditional canvas. Each overlaying gesture negates, blends and reveals the accumulation of her actions. The act of painting and the paint itself become entangled in their own reflexivity. The results are both ecstatic and hauntingly visceral.
