| Description: | Priit Pangsepp forms the core of the Kursi school together with Ilmar Kruusamäe, Peeter Allik and Albert Gulk. The artworks by the members of the group do not share a strictly binding common ground, but they possess certain general strategic and cognitive similarities. One of these similarities the transformation of recent art historical styles in a slightly twisted or intensified manner, bordering on grotesque and village idiocy. The works of the Kursians are figurative, surreal, and hyper-realistic, with features from naivism, pop art and metaphysical painting. Their pictures tell stories and utterances that cross between fantasy and the real world. The bodies in Pangsepp’s paintings transform, expand, get narrower, twist, on one occasion losing their heads, on another their faces. This is however not a bodily experience. Pangsepp's women seem to derive from dreams, half-conscious doodles in the margin of a notebook or visions of magical realism. Aside from the playful relationship between colours, “Blue Clouds” is in a way a picture inside a picture, a tapestry floating in the background, in the air or a window, of a woman with a snake’s head, doing her morning stretching exercises.
