Exhibition #79 – THAW
11.2.–2.4.2022
Lokal Gallery
Annankatu 9, Helsinki
THAW can mean all of the following things; to go from a frozen to a liquid state, to become free of the effect of cold as a result of exposure to warmth, to be warm enough to melt ice and snow, to abandon aloofness, reserve, or hostility, or to become mobile, active, or susceptible to change. It’s also a form of renewal and growth for something new. We embrace all of this with our first exhibition of the already approaching spring. This is celebrated with diverse and exquisite works by nine artists, who each have interpreted the theme in their own respective mediums.

Minna Arponen, Jewellery Artist
Elli Hukka, Jewellery Artist
Lina Jelanski, Photographer

Exhibition #102 – Didi NG Wing Yin / Not Just Something
28.2.–29.3.2025
“Through carving, I aim to reveal the unseen essence of wood. Every mark, texture, and cut represents my reflections on the material, inviting viewers to connect with the wood’s silent yet hidden language. Each artwork is a record of thinking through making, where each piece embodies my study of the nature of wood itself.”
Exhibition #101 – Ilari Hautamäki & Santtu Mustonen / Once in a Hyper Moon
25.1.–22.2.2025
This unexpected exhibition presents a collection of works that explore three-dimensional textures, color combinations, and various techniques used to create texture-filled surfaces. The materials used by the artists, such as glass and paper, serve as the foundation for the pieces. The artworks blend the organic and industrial, as well as the controlled and spontaneous, in ways that reflect each artist’s unique approach.
Exhibition #100 – Niidome & Lautenbacher / Hiver – Fuyu
7.12.2024 – 18.1.2025
In the wintertime exhibition, wood and ceramics complement each other. The pitch black and glossy white wooden surfaces and the tones of red clay brick alongside porcelain are windows to other worlds – they bring play, warmth and comfort to the middle of this season.
Exhibition #99 – Sasha Huber & Petri Saarikko / Like Night and Day
18.10.–16.11.2024
In this exhibition two artists, Sasha Huber and Petri Saarikko, come together to explore themes of otherness and connection.
