Anna Tuori (FI)

Anna Tuori’s paintings are brimming with tensions and meanings, and her visual expression is vibrant. In her playful, intriguing and melancholic works things are constantly shifting; faces emerge, disintegrate or unfold into a seeming void. Painting provides Tuori with a way to examine things that cannot truly be seen nor verbalised and to investigate how such things can be portrayed. A recurrent theme is how things appear on the outside and what they conceal within.

Anna Tuori (b. 1976, Helsinki; FI) has participated in various solo and group exhibitions internationally, e.g. at Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve (2020; FR) and the Busan Museum of Art (2019; KR). Her works are included in numerous private and public collections. Tuori has been nominated for the prestigious Ars Fennica Award and Carnegie Art Award.

Portrait of Anna Tuori

Photo by Juliana Harkki

“I haven’t the faintest idea what my paintings will be about. I do my utmost to avoid thinking about it, so as not to inhibit the outcome. I keep turning things over in my mind, like: ‘Things used to be better.’ That’s not true in all respects, of course, but I like the phrase a lot. I also think that we can reach towards reality through the imaginary. Today, reality is often treated as a fiction and vice versa. I have parallel realities and mirror worlds in my mind – few people know which side they are on anymore. I also think about colour, light and how the work breathes.”
