NELLI PENNA (b.1982) and LAURA UKKONEN (b.1977) bring to the Critical Gallery an exhibition of most traditional paintings and drawings: landscapes, interiors and portraits.

Penna and Ukkonen prove that also with the most traditional means it’s possible to make relevant contemporary art on important political and philosophical themes. Their work focuses on exploring everyday life: what is the everyday environment we live in, how do we feel in the midst of it — and how can we learn to see it as wonderful, but without self-deception?
