Heikki Marila

The exhibition of Heikki Marila (b. 1966), one of the most important Finnish painters of his generation, presents important phases and turning points in his production from the 1990s to the present day, including new and never-before-seen works.

Marila’s expressive paintings deal with power in its various manifestations. They are anchored in the history of art through both their strong material painting style and their choice of subject matter.

Marila won the prestigious Carnegie Art Award in 2011 for his three monumental paintings of flowers.

In his most recent paintings, Marila addresses the current state of the world.
