Petri Ala-Maunus and Mauno Markkula: Blazing Sky
Mar 13, 2026 – Jan 31, 2027
Eteläinen Rautatiekatu 8, 00100 Helsinki
The opening exhibition of HAM’s new collection space brings together two painters from different eras, united by their emotional exploration of landscape.
HAM looks after an art collection that belongs to all residents of Helsinki. The new collection space presents the collection in a more extensive and innovative way.
The space is based on the Bäcksbacka collections, whose key artists include Mauno Markkula. Markkula’s works from the 1940s and 1950s now enter into an interesting dialogue with Petri Ala-Maunus’ paintings from the 2010s and 2020s.
The exhibition takes visitors to surreal landscapes amid storms of colour.
