Landscape memory

29.1.–14.3.2026, KOUTA gallery, Kouvola Art Museum Poikilo second floor

The works in Anette Avela’s Landscape Memory exhibition focus on the temporal and momentary features of environments. The paintings and sculptures examine the nature of landscape, experience and remembering.

Avela curiously follows the processes of change visible in the environment. She records interesting details, spatial boundaries and situations by drawing, painting, sculpting in clay and casting in plaster. The works are created from the juxtapositions, intersections and coexistence of elements, features and outlines visible in the landscape. They reflect not only the landscape experience but also the polyphony and change of the landscape.
