Artist’s Statement
In her paintings, Tuula Anttonen pictures human beings in both isolation and in social interactions with each other. Situations are constructed where power plays and abuse are clearly depicted as well as longing for connection and togetherness. Anttonen constructs her characters sparsely, considering the influence of drawing on painting: the quality of line, the colour of pencil, the grids on paper have become elements in the painting as well.
