  Märkälä is a Finnish painter. She lives in Espoo and works in Helsinki. Märkälä's
  work is represented in several public and private collections in Finland 
 and abroad. Veikko Halmetoja\, art critic and curator\, writes about Märkälä's
  work:'The structure of Märkälä's paintings takes on a life of its own. The lu
 scious surface is like the hands of the fiercest expressionists. Each crev
 ice and peak stands out from the painting\, building its own story on the 
 surface of the colors. The echoes of abstract expressionism are very power
 ful and enjoyable. The paintings display movement\, in parts\, the limits 
 of that movement. 'Märkälä is skilful in taking the viewer from the bigger iss
 ues to the most minute level. Ultimately\, the viewers may find themselves
  staring incessantly at the passionately gushing surface.Märkälä is branching 
 out into a new territory with a series of photographs. On the photographs'
  industrial landscapes\, there are paint strokes\, scribbles\, drawings an
 d scratches. '' These works can be interpreted as commentary on the relati
 onship between modernist painting and photography. The history and develop
 ment of modernist painting has paralleled the development of photography\,
  and their paths have thus been several times through the years. Märkälä's pai
 nting on photographs is a critical commentary on the power of photography\
 , an outcry for the power of painting.This applies to the whole exhibition
 : strokes of paint in nuances and in mass\, luscious expressive surges of 
 color. ' The whole text: www.maariamarkala.com If you are not able to visi
 t the gallery during the opening\, the best possible defense for painting 
 is to express its expressiveness in a way that wells from the whole-hearte

 llections in Finland and abroad. Veikko Halmetoja\, art critic and curator
 \, on Märkälä's work:'The structure of Märkälä's paintings leads a life of its own
 . The lush relief seems like the craft of the wildest impressionists. Each
  column\, each summit stands out from the painting and creates its own sto
 ry on the surface of the colors. The echoes of Abstract Expressionism are 
 powerful and lovely. The pictures show movement and\, in part\, the limits
  of this movement. Märkälä skilfully draws the observer from the big questions
  to the level of the smallest. In the end\, the viewer may catch the relen
 tless gaze on the passionately bubbling surfaces.Märkälä enters new territory 
 with this series of photographs that she himself says has 'destroyed' her.
  In the photographs of industrial landscapes one finds color strokes\, scr
 ibbles\, paintings and scratches. The original image is usually barely rec
 ognizable and there is not necessarily any relationship between the conten
 t of the photo and the added elements. These works can be understood as a 
 commentary on the relationship between Modernist painting and photography.
  The history and development of modernist painting ran parallel to the dev
 elopment of photography and their paths have crossed over the years severa
 l times. Märkäläs paintings on photographs are critical comments on the power 
 of photography and an outcry for the power of painting.This applies to the
  entire exhibition: color strokes in various nuances and masses\, rich and
  expressive color effects. The best defense of painting is to show its exp
 ressive power\, which can only come from a total devotion to painting. ' F
