"Uutinen explains that, "[a]bstraction lends my work an ambivalence, even negation, which is a question of the abject.""
"The process seems like a tango. How does the creator and their 'natural self' relate to what is, as Uutinen points out, just plastic: plastic, which is used to shape 'perfect' bodies that are subjected to desire and rejection at once?"
Marianna Uutinen's artwork, created over 30 years, examines the body and its complexities through the medium of acrylic on plastic. The process involves layering acrylic, peeling off the plastic skins, and transferring them onto canvas, creating a dynamic interaction. Uutinen's work embodies abstraction and ambivalence, challenging traditional perceptions of art. The artist's approach invites viewers to engage with the pieces without seeking direct associations, allowing for a deeper appreciation of form and content.
