Tipping Point

The colors in Emmi Kallio’s paintings have deepened. The overall effect is one of strong contrasts and vivid lines. Abstract expressionism continues to contain references to recognizable subjects.

Kallio’s paintings exist in a state of unrest, like the air before a storm. Tipping Point moves along the edge where weather and emotion meet, exploring the moment when everything shifts—too early, too intensely. Human bodies in her works are pierced by forces of nature and raw feeling: the rain lashes, the emotion floods. Kallio’s expressive brushwork captures a disrupted rhythm where nothing feels quite right—not the weather, not the emotion, not the body.
