Kaspar Tall‘s art exhibition Hingekõnelused Saaremaa loodusega (“Conversations with Saaremaa’s nature” in English) takes visitors on a fabulous journey to Saaremaa’s nature and its creator’s mental landscapes.
The works in the exhibition often recur certain motifs: the Saaremaa landscape with its forests, fields and water bodies, and everyday objects that seem to have fallen into the middle of harmonious nature.
Tall’s pencil work is meticulous, but the finished works are softly dreamlike and delicate. In them, everyday objects meet nature in a fascinating way: giant paper airplanes hovering in a birch forest, a laundry boy picking at soil that resembles skin, or a doorknob and lock in a pond. Where does the door go when you open it?
