EXHIBITION // "Uneilm" Kalli Kalde

As Japanese writer Natsume Sõseki says in his book "The Grass Cushion" - "Between sleep and wakefulness there exists a fragile glow of a vague world, a state where the two poles of life - sleep and wakefulness - are blended together with a poetry brush.".
New thoughts and creativity emerge best in the deep black darkness, on the border between sleep and wakefulness. Darkness is a world where everything is there, where the unthinkable can happen in sleep, where impossible situations become possible, tangible. In dreams, the poetic and surreal aspects of the human psyche are revealed to us, which are deliberately created in art. Dreams speak in the language of symbols, bringing to the surface images and spectacles from deep in the subconscious streams, showing us what we could pay attention to while awake.
My painting ideas are often born in this hazy sleep dreaming time. In this exhibition, I show paintings that came to me thanks to art residencies, in the warm rainforest of Peru in 2023 and in the northern, harsh Faroe Islands in 2024.
In the darkness of the end of the year, everyone should allow themselves to sleep as much as they can, to escape into the depths of slumber, to find new vitality and new ideas.
