„If my heart was a Seashell”, the upcoming solo show by Ville Kylätasku at Miettinen Collection resonates with the spectators the same way a seashell resonates with the listener.
Kylätaskus works open up a unique aesthetic universe, murmuring in somber landscapes and rejoicing in glaring portraits. Places of longing and sceneries of solitude are questioning the human quest for purpose. What is our greatest need? Eternal afterlife, monetary success or love and companionship? Where does beauty end and kitsch begin?
Kylätaskus paintings touch countless facets of the human condition and brush up against fundamental art historical and theological questions of vanitas, mystery and paradise.
