The exhibition People in Focus – works from the collection of the Heino Art Foundation highlights the whole range of contemporary art by presenting works by prominent Finnish artists. The emphasis is on the immediate emotional effect of art, and viewers are given an opportunity to identify with the countless ways in which people are depicted in contemporary art.
The exhibition seeks to reveal what it is like to live in the present time: the relationship of man to the environment, spiritual experiences, self-reflection and relationships to other people. Silent studies as well as social commentaries are included. The exhibition emphasises the power of art – through one collection, by presenting pearls of both contemporary art and modernism.
The exhibition presents works by 43 prominent visual artists.
The curator of the exhibition is acting Museum Director Selma Green. The exhibition is produced by Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art in collaboration with the Heino Art Foundation.
