With this exhibition, Krista Leesi continues her characteristic art practice, where the main sources of inspiration are historical textile patterns, ambiguity of textile vocabulary and relevant unexpected relations, but also the daily life around us. The artist treats pattern design as an art form, interpreting historical pattern styles and traditional fabric types. The produced works are not just decorative, but play with meanings, express ideas, tell stories, hide messages… The approach is playful, intriguing and sometimes ironic. Several large-format items completed already earlier meet with new surprises for the first time in the same room at the exhibition. |
