아누 키팰레넨은 이번 전시
Keep Tomorrow Free 는 개인의 삶 안에서 시간의 순간 순간을 주관적 차원으로 엿본다. 촉감의 경험은 유지되지만
시간은 추억에 의해 뒤틀리고 그 주변의 시간은 사라진다. 세계가 온갖 혼란스러운 정치적 뉴스로 일면을 장식하는 오늘 날,
바깥 세상을 잊게 하는 이런 순간들을 향유하는 것은 우리에게 필수적이다.
차를 멈추고, 전화기를 끄고, 의자를 가져와 햇살의 마지막 정경을 즐기자.
Finnish born, London based artist Annu Kilpeläinen graduated from the London College of
Communication in 2010. In the years since, her vibrant paintings and illustrations have
seen her works exhibited internationally around the world including Portland Oregon,
Los Angeles California, Tallinn Estonia and Sydney Australia. This is her first time
exhibiting in Seoul, Korea.
Within this exhibition her style collides into a kaleidoscope of color, pattern and form
- which brings to life the two dimensional surfaces on which she paints. Somewhere between
a comic and a painting, Annu Kilpeläinen's work explores obsessions with modern Transport,
Time, Repetition and Nature. Along with her unending fascination with bold, bright colors,
Annu is able to explore these themes with playful humor in her new show Keep Tomorrow Free.
A quote from artist/poet David Robilliard, the words serve as reminder to allow yourself to
exist in the moment, removing the pressure and anxiety that come with being alive in our
modern world.
Keep Tomorrow Free looks at moments in time as a subjective dimension in an individual life.
How time is warped with memory, experiences of touch remain intact while time around these
disappears. These moments that make you forget about the outer world are crucial in today’s
politically charged world of daily breaking headlines.
Stop your car, turn off your phone, pull up a chair and catch the last rays of sun.
