Exhibition “Kristi Kongi. Chromatic Drift”

The large-scale solo exhibition of artist Kristi Kongi in the grand hall of the Kumu Art Museum in Tallinn offers an immersive perception-based spatial experience. Color is the main element of the new works created for the exhibition and the fields of meaning that manifest through its physical, emotional, and semantic pathways.Curator: Ann Mirjam Vaikla
Kristi Kongi (born 1985) is a painter and installation artist whose works are based on her observations, emotions, and memories of specific or imagined places. She uses color, light, and space as her main tools for world creation and extends her paintings into installations that are often like paintings within paintings.
The foundation of Kristi Kongi’s work is thorough research and painting experiments, where she tests different colors, light, and shadow. Her work is poetic – as expressed by the titles of her pieces – and systematic and analytical.
