At CHART 2024, Helsinki Contemporary presents works from Emma Ainala, Ville Andersson, Anna Retulainen and Aki Turunen. While the four Finnish artists’ styles vary from minimalism and intimate still lifes to surrealist visions, they all share an interest in how painting and drawing work as ways of worldbuilding and narrativizing life.
