Anne
Tompuri 19.9.-13.10. 2002
Emotion has always held great sway in Anne Tompuri's paintings.
The colour palette of her paintings that plumb the depths of the soul and
existential angst but also delve into light has always been very sparse.
The deep black characteristic of Tompuri's work - even her trademark - is
accompanied by white and pale yellow, with a desolate, agonising red making
only fleeting appearances. The austere colour scale highlights the condensed
thoughts and sub-conscious of the artist's inner world whilst the images,
mere suggestions, hark back to the margins of remembrance and oblivion.
Despite the highly personal nature of Anne Tompuri's work, there has been
a certain distance in her approach, at times sacredness so monumental that
it leaves behind the artist's persona and advances towards anonymity, all
the way to universal devotional imagery
