Timo Ryhänen - Frankie's Imaginarium
Vernissage: Tue 19.11. 7-9 pm
Opening hours: Tuesday-Saturday 3-7 pm
Galerie Pleiku
Eugen-Schönhaar-Strasse 6a
10407 Berlin
***
The exhibition presents my world, Ambaria and its inhabitants and archetypal animal figures. In a metropolis in a parallel reality called Supersymbolis, figures and telekinetic objects fly around and ensure the protection of their culture. Fox and llama characters appear as artistic carriers and power animals for cross-continental cultures, carefully forming the past based on the present.
The inspiration for Frankie's Imaginarium were Christmas performances presented by children and their simple staging ideas. Smaller portrait paintings combine the feeling of global division with the change in personality that takes place in the generational continuum.

Frankie's Imaginarium is inspired by children's Christmas plays and their basic set of staging ideas. Smaller portrait paintings combine the feeling of global division with the change of personality that takes place in the generational continuum. They shape figuration through coloristic cubism into a more optimistic future. Frankie's Imaginarium brings together archetypal forms of imagination, much in the same manner that imaginative trees at children's Christmas play sprout out life's enjoyments to be shared by the canopy of a tree
