The show includes 20 pictures from his recent series "The Procession of Spectres" (2015). The images create a stunning tension between majestic landscapes, surreal structures, the artist’s self, and a noble silence.
The work of Ville Kansanen confronts the viewer with an apparent infinity and the overpowering of a primitive, boundless nature. Nature becomes a projection surface for reflections on the human condition, in order to revive an emotional relationship between these two entities. The sense of loneliness and isolation that the pictures radiate, however, doesn’t point to desperation, but rather resolution in a comforting melancholy. | | | | | |  | | | | Ville Kansanen: "Erasure", archival pigment print, 2015 © Ville Kansanen | | | | | | The autodidact Ville Kansanen has exhibited in various group exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, San Diego, Lexington, Fort Collins, London, and Athens.
