Gallery owner Siim Raie has brought together artists Kennet Lekko, Paul Kormashov and Kristen Rästas, who were born in Tallinn but now live and work in Berlin, to take the leap and offer an insight into their own artistic journeys.
The new exhibition will be open at Artrovert Gallery from 4 December.
From 4 December, Artrovert Gallery will host a group exhibition dedicated to the desires and fears of leaving home, depicting a leap into the unknown. As a destination, Berlin continues to be a magnet for creative individuals, ideas, challenges and opportunities. Gallery owner Siim Raie has brought together artists Kennet Lekko, Paul Kormashov and Kristen Rästas, who were born in Tallinn but now live and work in Berlin, to take the leap and offer a look at their own artistic journeys.
In the tightly integrated contemporary world, abandoning familiar surroundings in search of something bigger is a common impulse that many relate to. Berlin, renowned for its artistic freedom and seemingly endless possibilities, offers the artists in this exhibition an environment in which to pursue their innate ideals, take risks and seek opportunities for growth. The “Don’t Look Before You Leap” exhibition is a snapshot of their current state of creation – a glimpse into a dreamlike journey filled with painful lessons, pleasures, and the warmth of discovering themselves in two different homes. These are personal stories for which the search process is at least as important as the destination.
