Anna Tuori: Calling for the Future to Return

Anna Tuori’s works are a stream of meanings and observations, of the imagined and the real, the here and the elsewhere.

In an uncertain world, uncertain figures seek answers from a crystal ball, a friend’s skull, a reflecting surface, encounter profound mysteries, conjure tricks and dogs from the past. 

The exhibition’s title suggests an impossibility, but that does not make the wish any less real. Somewhere, a door will open, perhaps allowing someone to return.

Composition, colours and rhythm are important to Tuori. They are paramount. Unspoken, beyond words. She strives towards them, tasting the combinations in her mind. The windows in Tuori’s previous exhibition allowed the eye to wander through. Now, the walls in the paintings give rise to ever more constrained views. 

Tuori is captivated by the human capacity and incapacity to imagine, see, believe – how our minds carry, reject and construct realities, filling gaps into the past and into the future.

From beyond the frames, resolute hands enter the paintings, pointing fingers, masters of ceremonies, magicians, devil’s advocates. Or perhaps they are like gods of antiquity, flawed, mischievous, lustful, relentless forces whose turmoil leaves us bewildered.
