In Hämeenlinna, Vesa-Pekka Rannikko’s solo exhibition Starling Gets Spots is on view at Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation’s Ikimetsägalleria, a gallery supporting the conservation work of the foundation. The exhibition features Rannikko’s delicate relief intarsias in dyed plaster and an animated drawing. The reliefs, shifting fluidly between painting and sculpture, show nature with its full intrinsic value. The little fables or thoughts suggested in the subtly coloured intarsias conjure up a translucent vapour cloud, a water droplet or the wings of a starling. The exhibition runs until 14 March 2026.
