Raisa Raekallio ja Misha del Val - Works On Paper
Galleria Napa 22.12. - 16.1.2018
Finissage on friday 11.1.2019 18-20 pm. Welcome!
Misha del Val presents a series of works on paper that murmur about forests, the certainty of death and the magnetic void of starry nights. Del Val’s current readings of short-story writer, essayist and poet Borges project a thin shadow onto these works, as does the artist’s daily practice of sitting introspective contemplation (meditation). Once again, trees -and del Val’s subjective relationship with trees- are a key element in his creative process. Not only at a level of figuration, trees intermittently attending the works, but also in the physical presence of the drawings: the use of terva as artistic material, unifies these series of works; they smell of tree. These are images of trees (and broken humans and laughable buddhas and impervious lands) painted essentially with trees: paper, charcoal, terva.
