The Head Speaks
People are the main focus of Ville Löppönen’s exhibition The Head Speaks (Pää puhuu). Charcoal drawings highlight the impressive and nuanced faces in a way that recalls the drawings of Renaissance and Baroque masters. In small oil paintings, the boundaries of humanity dissolve into the world around us. The psychological interpretation of Löppönen’s works is easy to transport to a narrative level, while making it human and relatable.
