Petri Ala-Maunus Exhibits Hyper-Landscape Paintings Reimagining World Landscape Tradition
Artist Petri Ala-Maunus presents an exhibition titled 'Weltlandschaft,' featuring paintings that depict imagined panoramic scenes. His works combine extreme elements like storms and serene vistas, creating dystopian-utopian terrains that challenge conventional landscape art. The exhibition references a 16th-century Netherlandish term for elevated, panoramic views, with Ala-Maunus focusing on hyper-detailed, excessive compositions rather than real locations. This approach aims to unsettle traditional genre expectations through exaggerated beauty and detail.
