Back to Paradise?
2013/2022
“At first glance it may seem that this is an exhibition on a Christian theme. A biblical motif with the Garden of Eden and everything that belongs to it: a well-known scene that has receded from the current art landscape. However, a deeper examination reveals that the exhibition is composed of different parts of art history: antique columns alongside depictions of a Hellenistic naked body; eclectic gate ornaments, bright tones of Pop Art and the meticulousness of hyperrealism. Every detail is meaningful because it is backed by history and hundreds, even thousands of previous uses.” – Art Allmägi
