Kultakausi

Golden Age' refers to the creative period of the artist, because the exhibition will present around one hundred new works: paintings, photographs, short films and sculptures. Gold, which connects the works, is seen in many forms and meanings. In Finnish art, the term Golden Age refers to the period prior to Finland?s independence, when artists created a Finnish identity for the country. 0Liulia defines Finland?s second Golden Age as the period from the 1970s, when a small country rose quickly to become one of the world?s most advanced and affluent nations.0?But what does Golden Age mean today? Does art create a national well-being that is mental, physical, economic and communal? Or in an era of individualism, is Golden Age also personal?? asks the artist. Liulia?s large-scale paintings, often created with her bare hands, are inspired by Finnish nature. World events, democratic crises, natural disasters, bomb strikes and the plight of refugees are also present in the works. The stories associated with the paintings are presented both in the exhibition and in a book Golden Age, published simultaneously.00Exhibition: Serlachius Museum Gösta, Mänttä, Finland (05.11.2016 - 23.04.2017).
