 Taru Liikanen, Artist at the art exhibition, Paintings, Espoo 2021

 

This collection of 10 works by Taru Liikanen (MA) studies the themes of seeking love, cinema, and art. Depictions of embraces, kisses, and fulfillment (or lack thereof) are portrayed. Techniques used include explorations of ink & gouache on paper, with varied sizes.

Meanings that are unattainable with other methods than art are the realm of Taru Liikanen. She is an artist and educator by heart and training. Her artwork explores and builds upon concepts that are ever-present in cinema: hopes, dreams, fears, love, and contradictions. Similar to how cinema brings to life concepts of fantasy, Liikanen's art brings to life that which is otherwise under the surface, unseen, yet often intimately felt.
