Works by Heini Aho, Eeva-Leena Eklund, Jussi Niva and Joel Slotte are included in Turku Art Museum’s What (a) Colour exhibition. Showcasing over 60 works by 40 artists, the exhibition features works from the collection of Turku Art Museum and explores how to interpret the meaning of colour in visual art.
The selected works highlight the colour palettes typical of different eras, colour theories, material research, as well as the cultural, symbolic and emotional dimensions of colours. The exhibition brings together paintings, graphic art, photography, moving image and sculpture, all of which illuminate the essence of colour in their own ways.
Alongside the museum’s own acquisitions, works from the collections of Nils Dahlström, the Friends of Turku Art Museum and Lars Göran Johnsson are included, as well as an acquisition from the latest subcollection, Collection Lieto Savings Bank Foundation.
