Miikka Vaskola: Infinite Numbers of Tomorrow
Miikka Vaskola’s Infinite Numbers of Tomorrow is built around a set of diptychs juxtaposing landscapes and maps.
Miikka Vaskola’s Infinite Numbers of Tomorrow is built around a set of diptychs juxtaposing landscapes and maps.
The paired images are conflated, yet without either being subordinated by the other. They are composed in such a way as to guide our gaze from the bottom to the top, from near to far, transforming the viewing experience into an event similar to reading a map. Vaskola’s paintings have a well-nigh archaic quality – they seem to offer a glimpse of something ancient and eternal.
Also featured in the exhibition are Vaskola’s “unearthings”, in which he employs his signature method of combining diverse materials.
