Hard Cut

Bulevardi 10, 00120 Helsinki
Helsinki Contemporary is proud to present paintings by Jon Koko (Sweden), Marie Rud Rosenzweig (Denmark), and Marlon Wobst (Germany) in the group exhibition Hard Cut.
All three artists construct multi-layered paintings that play with the flatness of the picture plane in distinctive ways. Often embracing narrativity, they explore the human condition through depictions of landscapes, objects, or architecture in styles that verge on abstraction.
Merging Japanese and Nordic aesthetics, Jon Koko’s paintings possess a pronounced spatial and architectural quality. With hushed and serene sensitivity, Koko examines the “frames” created by the buildings and landscapes we inhabit.
Marie Rud Rosenzweig explores the world through objects and forms, reflecting on how they serve as vessels for stories, ideologies, systems, and desires. Central to her practice are cropping and cutting, the symbolic use of colour, and the exploration of dynamic tensions between diverse forms.
In Marlon Wobst’s work, natural phenomena and water motifs serve as compelling tools of storytelling. His works convey depth and emotional intensity through the tangible depiction of air and water – elements that are neutral yet palpably present.
