JULIANA HYRRI
Juliana Hyrri is a Helsinki-based painter, illustrator, and cartoonist. Her first comic book received a Critics’ Spurs award in 2020. She’s inspired by moments, and her art is a kind of journey of exploration. Hyrri’s approach to art is strongly narrative, visual, and emotionally charged.
“My work is called “Parallel”, as it is a kind of a spatial study. The baseline for the work is an older and smaller painting of mine that combines different spaces in a collage-like manner. Spatial versioning is both built on the conditions of a physical non-space, and it also takes control over it. Stretching, flowing, and craning painting stretches over the floors, walls, and ceiling. The final product is an optical illusion with an immersive power.”
