Juss Piho “Choice no 5”

On Thursday, 8th of August opens Juss Piho’s solo exhibition titled “Choice no 5” at Vaal Gallery. The exhibition will remain open until 7th of September Tue–Fri 12–6 pm and Sat 12–4 pm.

Look at the details in the picture, says Piho. His paintings have clean lines, defined forms, precise execution, carefully modulated colour gamma. These technical means, in their diversity, create the tension in the picture. The overall impression describes a person in their moment of movement, or playfulness, while the dynamics of the image are entirely static. It is a perfect philosophical moment.

The artworks are mostly created in the current year. However, the core of the exhibition is spontaneous. The composition and matching happens in the gallery – it is based on the space and the fit between the paintings. The overall impact is important.

The exhibition is the fifth in the ”Choice” series which started last year.

Juss Piho (b 1963) is an artist, whose paintings have been displayed both in Estonia and internationally. He held his first solo exhibition in 1993, and has taken part in exhibitions since 1987. He is a member of the Estonian Artists’ Association, an honorary member of the IBBY, has won several awards for his book illustrations and has been nominated for the Konrad Mägi Award three times.
