PAINTINGS

The exposed twelve works are the artist\'s newest creation, having been painted just for the EÜP gallery hall.
 
Tarmo Roosimölder, who has studied geology in the Tartu University, is an autodidact as an artist, having started painting as a self-taught person in the year 1989. He has been exhibiting regularly since the year 1991. In addition to painting, Roosimölder also deals with graphic art. By today he has become a highly regarded artist of the younger generation, possessing an original style, whose works are always well recognised in gallery halls.
 
Roosimölder paints the outer space - a wide landscape, not being limited by the canvas frame, of which he himself has said - an imaginary landscape. The artist does not want his landscapes to coincide with the reality, they are rather fantasy landscapes, being inspired by real deserts, swamps, limestone bluffs. In proportion with the endless outer space the figures of Roosimölder on the paintings are small, emphasizing the cosy leisure time of a man, being content with himself and his doings. We find on the painting undisturbed, peaceful and practical persons, who are lounging, flying, angling. Just such kind of people have to a great extent inhabited also the pictures of the current exhibition.
Fishing lines of these anglers reach into the sky as thin, unnoticeable threads, as if they have become loose after having caught a big fish, then have flown into the clouds and remained there. Anglers themself look thoughtfully up....
 
From the figures of Roosimölder can be drawn parallels with the Buddhist world logic, where the deepest thought grow out of simple being, lying, walking, sitting of a man...
 
Creation of the artist encourages the viewer to switch out of the surrounding noise and while getting on well with himself/ herself to start a refreshing walk in the ideal landscape of his/ her own thoughts.
