LEAVING the FISH TANK – Frida Moukulainen

Frida Moukulainen (b. 1985) is a visual artist who graduated from Kankaanpää School of Fine Arts in 2014. She lives and works in Niinisalo.
Moukulainen’s works are created using collage techniques, where a plexiglass plate is attached to a fabric base. The artist paints on unprimed canvas with water-based paints and constructs the image as a collage. The final layer of the painting is oil paint applied to a plastic sheet.
The theme of the exhibition “Leaving the Fish Tank” at Poriginal gallery is water. Floods, rain, and whales swimming in the landscape. The artist has painted creatures resting in the depths and figures transforming into water. They fade into the background, change their forms, and leave the aquarium.
