The exhibition opening will take place on February 6 at 5:00 PM at Haus Gallery.

Laurentsius’s newly completed selection of works is exhibited in Haus Gallery’s black-walled hall that absorbs ambient light, allowing the inner atmosphere of the artist’s color landscapes to resonate with particular intensity.

In his paintings, Laurentsius characteristically brings together two opposing worlds — the extremely abstract and the extremely hyperrealistic. Mastering a filigree painting technique, he is able to create between them a peculiar shared space, a clear dialogue between something and nothing, where photographically highlighted elements are set against diffused color fields that follow the movement of the brush.

In this vein, the exhibition presents the series “The Sea, Perhaps…”, in which the painting surfaces are streaked with tentatively abstract sea colors, suggesting the perceived tones of water rather than the literal reality of the sea. Yet the water gains additional layers of meaning through ultra-realistic tree branches interwoven into the compositions, casting delicate shadow spaces across the paintings.

The exhibition opening will take place on February 6 at 6:00 PM at Haus Gallery.

Jaan Elken’s abstractions, at once intellectual and sensory, have become embedded in our artistic reality, opening through each of the artist’s solo exhibitions their own profound dimensions of inner and outer spatial contemplation. The manifestations of Elken’s art are expectations of experience, observational events in which the deeply personal and the profoundly existential intertwine into a single visual enigma — a sense of boundlessness within a harmonious whole of various sign systems. Words, lines of text, fragments of color and colorlessness, textures, proximities and distances — like life itself, where fact and its relativity coexist, where what is seen in reality becomes a later inner interpretation, whose artistic expression forms an entirely new reality.
