*********
You just gasp for breath at this exhibiton at Gallery Saskia, Tampere, the technique is so fascinating. The large and multicoloured woodcuts by Teija Lehto and Jaana Paulus are masterly. Teija Lehto (b. 1965) takers her subjects from a kitchen table, stove plate or washing-up. There are cups, kettles and plates in the pictures, the light is reflecting from porcelain and metal surfaces, the cream of a cake makes your mouth water. It´s amazing how they have got so many shades of colours into the pictures with woodcut technique. And you are astonishing the same fact in Jaana Paulus's (b. 1963) woodcuts. The branches of trees are multilayered, and somewhere among the twigs you can often find confused human faces. There even is glorious golden or metallic colour on some of the works.
