Kaisa Ypya | Fading Light
Opening Reception: Friday 21st April, 7 – 9pm
When creating this collection of watercolour paintings, Kaisa Ypya wanted to look into how tumultuous nature can be and how there is beauty in its destructiveness, volatility and its ability to create both life and death.
With every storm, every dying leaf or freezing river, nature is showing us how small and insignificant we are and that we are here just for a blink of an eye, as visitors. We try to grasp the magnificence of the world, and almost always fail.
When choosing her subject matters, Kaisa found herself to be especially drawn to misty landscapes, cold winters and changes that happen in between weather changing gears. The intoxicating instability.
Kaisa is originally from Finland and has lived in Ireland for the last 15 years. Her background is in Fine Art and Art Facilitation. In her art work she usually focuses on nature themes and mainly uses watercolour, paying special attention to perception of light and colours.
“Fading Light” is Kaisa’s second solo exhibition.
