⁣The Miettinen Collection is saluting the artist Eemil Karila @eemilkarila for his exhibition „Retour à la nature“, which will open on Tuesday, 29 October 2019, at A2 Gallery @galleria_a2.fi in Helsinki, Finland.⠀
⠀
Eemil Karila’s (1978) latest exhibition at Gallery A2, Retour à la nature (return to nature), is, in the artist’s own words, “a posthuman manifestation, an ensemble of works that I hope will encourage us to see and respect the nature around us, to forget ourselves and abandon our human-centric worldview.”⠀
⠀
The artist has been on the lookout for the nature that still persists in urban spaces. With the world on the verge of ecological disaster, it is important to talk about nature and its beauty and presence, things we all too often take for granted. Karila’s paintings include flowers that have grown in stretches of wasteland, overgrown backyards, red-poppies on a kitchen table and other domestic plants. Karila’s works are a reminder of the importance of small-scale nature, an ode to natura minora.⠀
Eemil Karila’s artistic work is diverse. His oeuvre includes painting, photography and video, sculpture and conceptual art. With his latest exhibition, Karila demonstrates that painting is not a historical curiosity but rather part of contemporary art. Karila’s artwork is part of the Miettinen Collection. ⠀

Great to see you Hans Ulrich Obrist @hansulrichobrist at our exhibitions from Amoako Boafo @amoakoboafo and Brandon Lipchik @brandonlipchikstudio @ Miettinen Collection I Salon Dahlmann

11/09/2019

Opening 12 September, 5-9 pm: "Windows Into Exile“ is the first solo exhibition of New York painter Brandon Lipchik @brandonlipchikstudio in Germany. The title evokes a conversation with the novel The Exile of Capri by Roger Peyrefitte. The French author tells the story of the two lovers Jacques Fersen and Nino Cesarini. In reaction to scandals surrounding Baron Ferson’s amorous relationships with Parisian male youths, he chose the island of Capri as a refuge for himself and his long-time lover. Living in self-imposed exile on the island, the couple led an eccentric private life which stood in opposition to the mores of the 20th century Italian upper-class.

Lipchik is interested in the process of distortion and dissociation of a picture, which can occur both in the digital realm and on canvas. In doing so, he masks a picturesque scene such as the Caprian landscape with lovers and collages occasionally bizarre and contradictory compositions. Lipchik confronts the viewer with male role models and ideas of paradise as calcified clichés. Like in Max Beckmann’s work, the canvas becomes a stage populated by recurring ambivalent motifs.

In finely distributed light colours before the backdrop of Capri’s landscape, Lipchik collages a cluster of everyday objects and traditional motifs of art history on a plane. He takes up Giorgio Morandi’s experiments with flatness and spatial depth and, in doing so, brings to the canvas a mix of consumer objects and artifacts. The results are idiosyncratic colour tones, perspectives and arrangements which turn the classical genres such as still life, landscape painting and portraiture on their heads. Similar to David Hockney’s pool images, this salutary exile becomes a constricting place. As with Hockney, the idyll is, at second glance, tarnished by damaged relationships, artificiality and solitude.

"The primary idea of my practice is representation, documenting, celebrating and showing new ways to approach blackness.“ says artist Amoako Boafo @amoakoboafo about his paintings, that will be shown in his first solo exhibition in Germany, opening tomorrow, 12 September, 5pm to 9pm at the Miettinen Collection in Berlin during @berlinartweek

The Ghanaian-born and Vienna-based artist shows nine new paintings in context with a work from the Miettinen Collection. The new works are produced in continuity with his series "Black Diaspora”, which began in 2018. Amoako speaks on issues surrounding the dispersion of African communities abroad, focusing on ideas of origin and identity, drawing from his personal experience of moving from Ghana to Austria in 2013.

Amoako Boafo (*1984) was born in Accra, Ghana. He studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under the direction of Prof. Kirsi Mikkola and Prof. Ashley Hans Scheirl. In 2017 he was awarded the Walter Koschatzky Art Prize. He lives and works in Vienna.
