On 22 August, artist Uno Roosvalt celebrates his 85th birthday – a monumental milestone, which Haus Galerii marks with an equally monumental exhibition, consisting mainly of paintings from different periods of the artist’s career. The exhibition features powerful and large-format works inspired by the artist’s lifelong source of inspiration – nature and the northern coastline.

Martin Luts has found a personal challenge in geometric forms, painting mathematically precise objects that relate to one another from different viewpoints, as if asking whether perspective itself can transform an object into something else, or whether such apparent transformation exists only in the eyes and minds of the viewer. More broadly, the exhibition engages with questions of perception, whether through the optical illusions generated by Luts’s geometry or the shifts in thought that emerge from the viewer’s own analytical process.
The artist presents a series of works inspired by the same geometric form, creatively varying the point of view: front, back, side, or direct view; large, small, or medium-sized. Through his meticulous approach, he invites viewers to think alongside him and to exhaust the possibilities of a single visual vocabulary—if such possibilities can ever truly be exhausted.

On May 9 at 5:00 PM, the exhibition Clear Picture featuring paintings by Mauri Gross will open at Haus Gallery. Somewhat unexpectedly, Mauri Gross’s exhibition at Haus Gallery bears the laconic yet highly playful title Clear Picture. What did the artist mean by it? Or what might the viewer be expected to think in this context? Or is the picture, in every sense, so clear that there is nothing left to think about at all?

On May 8 at 6pm, an exhibition of paintings by Sirje Petersen titled Fringes and Spaces will open at Haus Gallery. Sirje Petersen’s paintings create perceptual rhythms throughout the two-storey halls of Haus Gallery. The abstractions of figures and landscapes shape tones of feeling and states of being rather than positions or statements.

Haus Gallery’s art auctions proceeded as expected. It was especially encouraging to see the highest number of registered participants to date and such active exhibition attendance. The auction once again leaves a trace in our archive as part of art history, marking the time, preferences, and market conditions, and documenting the kind of art that resonates with people today and that the gallery considers valuable.
Listen to the auction podcast, where we discuss the 1990s in Estonian art with Eero Epner, as well as artists Mall Niukke, Siim-Tanel Annus, and Marko Mäetamm. Explore the catalogue, accompanied by aphorisms from Estonian writers.
New auctions will take place already this autumn.

Markus Kasemaa’s exhibition at Haus Gallery, titled Into Darkness, presents paintings created between 2023 and 2026. The works are drawn from the series Bright, Dark, and Grey. In assembling the exhibition, the artist focused primarily on the interplay of tones in his oeuvre, exploring their harmony both conceptually and formally.

The exhibition “Crowned Within” is a meaningful, sensitive, and thoughtful exploration of the world of womanhood, revealed through royal metaphors—elegant figures, lush bouquets of flowers, and architecture aspiring toward height—alongside a distinctly academic, realistic yet personally metaphysical style of painting.

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.

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.

On 11 December at 6:00 PM, Peeter Laurits’ exhibition Tricksters Rewild Eden will open at Haus Gallery.
Peeter Laurits is a playful intellectual who brings together layers of different eras and cultures into a single artistic space, this time employing the Trickster, whom he sends into the lush forests of Eden. A descriptive dictionary defines the Trickster as follows: a mythical figure, often animal-shaped, who plays pranks, invents new things, and takes part in the creation of culture or even the entire world. In this context, the greatest Trickster might be the artist himself, mischievously assembling in his exhibition images paradoxical harmonies of ethical and aesthetic visuals — speaking about things that are important to speak about.
