Description

he work was part of the exhibition “Recurring Patterns” (with Mari Kurismaa, curated by Tamara Luuk, 2021) at the Tallinn Art Hall Gallery. Eelma's painting series “Write Your Own / Your Name” (2019–2021) is based on the varying repetition of one image. 

An image based on an artist's memory can be associated with an architectural motif, such as a door handle or a mirror frame, as well as the shape of a flower, fortress or wing from wildlife.

In her paintings, the Eelma has also partly used silver and gold pigment, which, when light falls from the right angle, makes the painting surface slightly reflect.

Sirja-Liisa Eelma (1973) is a conceptual painter, whose visual language is characterised by minimalist structures. She often works with repeating and slowly changing images in order to analyse themes like lack of intimacy, the physical experience of pause, silence, and delineating the visible and the invisible. Eelma’s practice relies on the mutual impact of the time factor and the spatial context in painting, her works evoke contemplation and meditative quietness.

 

Sirja-Liisa Eelma graduated from the painting department of the Estonian Academy of Arts (MA 1996) and in 2018 started doctoral studies at the same academy. In 2016, she received the Konrad Mägi Prize. Her works belong to the collection of the Art Museum of Estonia as well as private collections. Eelma has presented her work at numerous solo, group and curatorial exhibitions both in Estonia and internationally.
