Terhi Tolvanen & Evert Nijland: Naturae

Artist list

Terhi Tolvanen, Evert Nijland

Naturae presents two artists, both concerned in different ways with the interaction between nature and culture. Terhi Tolvanen is fascinated by interference generated by man in his contact with nature, and by the unexpected strategies developed by the latter to defend itself against this. The unpredictability of the living world and the dialogue between control and freedom constitute the main axes of her research.

Evert Nijland has a passion for the interpretation of nature made by artists from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. He deciphers codes from the history of art to transpose floral patterns from those days to contemporary issues.
