| Description: | The name Mari Kurismaa is associated with the reassessment Estonian painting in the 1980s. The 1990s saw a turn from sublime visions to a new circle of modernist aesthetics. The background for Kurismaa’s paintings has always been architecture and the play with a sense of space. Classical concept of architecture together with historical sense of time, were replaced by simple and elegant geometrical forms; an interesting combination of minimalism and optical art. The dull visions of the potential of the environment were polished by means of projectors and a new aggressive aesthetic was established, changing the entire idea of projection changes. The extensive series of paintings, “View” best represent Kurismaa’s aesthetic position in the 1990s. With the series the artist managed to make a strong contribution to the development of geometrical art in Estonia. Eha Komissarov |
