LINE OF LIFE / ELÄMÄN VIIVA

The artworks in the collection of Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation are presented in an exhibition that tells about a person in the midst of change and personal encounter and about the space around us. The key works in the exhibition have been chosen by youth from Rovaniemi, who are involved in the Flow from Art project. The works emphasize the fleeting moments of life, different emotional states, and experiences of presence and absence.

The summer exhibition at Punkaharju Hotel features paintings by the visual artist Sirpa Särkijärvi over several years, making it possible to observe the development of her painting expression over the previous 10 years and the ‘Canvas’ series, which was an interdisciplinary collaboration project between fashion designer Henrica Langh and Sirpa.
