One´s point of view depends on a number of variables – upbringing, environment, opinions, prejudices, goals and needs, and so on. Our viewing angle shapesour judgement, decision-making, behaviour patterns and their consequences. Yet sometimes, looking at things from a different angle can open a door to another, perhaps more spacious, world.

The exhibition allows us a glimpse of wildly differing viewpoints, on topics ranging from nostalgic past moments, intimate memories, yearnings for freedom, concerns for the fate of Earth and the artist’s own carbon footprint, through close-up studies of skin, musings on the concept of perfection, wanderings in the twilight zone, to frontal attacks against aesthetics.
One may find works both monumental and miniature, representative and abstract, sculptural and painterly, metaphorical and direct, cheery and dark, quiet and loud. There’s even a study on glass by the late Master Evald Okas. In short, there’s lots to see, all summer long.
