MEET THE ARTIST: KATRI MONONEN

Katri Mononen’s Exercises in Entanglement is on Galleri Aski from 21 August to 6 September 2026.

Exercises in Entanglement consists of paintings that have grown out of attempts to reach toward coexistence between humans and other living species. By combining different painterly gestures, I explore experiences of connection and intermingling with other forms of life. I remind myself of the countless ways in which we depend on plants, insects, and animals.

Katri Mononen is known for her paintings that combine botanical imagery with geometric abstraction. In the summer of 2026, her work was featured in Art Realm ’26, the biennial organised by the Tampere Art Museum, in an installation created in collaboration with Anna Hyrkkänen and Mia Saharla. Her works are included in the collections of, among others, the Finnish State Art Commission and the Tampere Art Museum.
