Mihkel Ilus
Mihkel Ilus (1987) works in the expanded field of painting. He often tackles large-scale installations, approaching them with the logic of a painter. Ilus studied painting at the University of Tartu and the Estonian Academy of Arts, and a substantial part of his practice involves combining contemporary exhibition practice with performance art. His recent exhibitions include How else could I put it (Kuidas saaksingi teisiti) (curator Siim Preiman) in Hordaland Kunstsenter in Bergen (2018), Caprices: Pre-amp (Kapriisid: Eelvõim) (with Henri Hütt) at the Design and Architecture Gallery (2017), Stick it in your wall (Pista see omale seina) at Hobusepea Gallery (2017) and Dead End (Tupik) (with Marten Esko) at the Art Hall Gallery (2016).
