PLASTICAL GEOMETRY

Rein Kelpman\'s exhibitions of the last few years both in Tartu and in Tallinn have given the visitors a superb possibility to get acquainted with his painter\'s abilities. Both the artist\'s earlier and recent creation has been exposed. Kelpman\'s extraordinary grotesque, figurative painting of the 80ies has now turned into abstract minimal compositions of experimental colour and form solutions.
 
The exhibition that will be opened in the Haus Gallery refers to the new creative period of the artist, possessing a searching nature. According to his own words he is moving from extreme red, yellow and purple tones to more balanced, peaceful, pastel colour solutions that proceed from the nature.
 
In the exhibition hall of the Gallery are exposed 13 oil paintings - carefully composed abstract associations that shine because of glowing, blending colour rooms, proceeding from each other - yellows in yellow and greens in green...
 
Objects on the paintings do not detach mainly because of the colour contrasts, but because of factural, thick surfaces. Kelpman has approaced his paintings as a sculptor, forming on the canvas in the mixed technique original geometrical relievos. From this is also derived the title of the exhibition - PLASTICAL GEOMETRY
