Gallen-Kallela
Museum Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931) was a prominent figure in Finnish art in the late 19th century, who depicted national themes and subjects from the Kalevala epic. He was an inquisitive artist open to experimentation. Gallen-Kallela worked in various techniques and styles, and he is regarded as a pioneer of Finnish graphics and applied arts. Gallen-Kallela studied and worked in different European countries. His explorer’s soul took him to East Africa and the United States. This well-travelled artist depicted Finnishness with particular acuity. The studio-castle of Tarvaspää Designed by Gallen-Kallela, this castle-like studio home was completed in 1913. Expressing the spirit of Jugendstil, or Art Nouveau, the house was primarily intended to be artist’s studio. With its tower, imaginative details and allusions to tales of knights and chivalry, the building is a unique work of art. The Gallen-Kallela Museum has been opened to the public since 1961. The museum’s temporary exhibitions present the art of Gallen-Kallela and his contemporaries as well as contemporary art. |

Ioanna
Balli valmistui Ateenan taideakatemiasta. Hänen teoksissaan säteilee
nykymaailma täynnä arkielämän outoja ja kuviteltuja
kuvia, joissa on hajanaisen ja pakenevan todellisuuden hohdetta. Hänen
näkemyksensä on kuitenkin kriittinen ja ironinen, ja hän
on hengeltään terävä, kapinallinen ja levoton. Ioanna
Balli is graduate at the Fine Art Academy of Athens. Her works radiate
a contemporary world, full of strange and imaginary pictures of everyday
life, carrying the shining glow of a scattered and fleeing reality. But
her vision is critical and ironic, her spirit is sharp, rebellious and
unquiet. |

Gallen-Kallela, Omakuva Uffizi-galleriaan / Self-portrait
for the Uffizi Gallery,

Akseli
Gallen-Kallela osallistui omalla osastollaan Venetsian biennaaliin vuonna
1914. Pian tämän jälkeen Italian valtio tilasi häneltä
muotokuvan Firenzen Uffizi-galleriaan. Vuonna 1916 valmistuneessa teoksessa
taiteilija kuvasi itsensä varmaotteisesti maalaustelineen ääressä,
työhönsä keskittyneenä. Ensimmäinen maailmansota
esti muotokuvan lähettämisen, joten se jäi Suomeen ja on
nykyään Gallen-Kallelan Museon kokoelmissa.
In 1914, Akseli Gallen-Kallela participated in the Venice Biennial with
his own department. Soon after the Biennal, the Italian state commissioned
a self-portrait of Gallen-Kallela for the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
In this work, which was completed in 1916, the artist portrays himself
standing assuredly before his easel, concentrating on his work. The First

Scarponin epävirallinen ehdotus uudeksi julkiseksi muotokuvaksi EU:n merkittävistä poliittisista henkilöistä on toteutettu suhteuttamalla presidenttien, pääministerien jne. kuvat heidän edustamiensa maitten maantieteellisiin mittasuhteisiin, pikseleitä käyttämällä. Taiteilija sitoo teoksensa niin vierailuunsa Gallen-Kallelan Museossa kuin vuoteen 2004, jolloin Euroopan Unioni laajeni kymmenellä maalla. Portraits of the more representative political figures (the President of the Republic, the Head of the Government in office, etc.) are “objectively” proportioned, by using the pixels, on the geographic dimensions of their respective nations. By this unpublished reproposal of the official portrait, Scarponi relates to the place which is hosting him, the museum dedicated to painter Gallen- Kallela, and to the current year, 2004 which has witnessed the enlargement of the European Union to ten new countries. |
