Pastel Lemon Yellow Soft Passive Aggressive is Heini Aho’s (born 1979) third solo exhibition at Galerie Anhava. Aho blends elements of sculpture, installation and the moving image in a wide range of ways to make fascinating and compelling works in which acute observations of her environment merge with reflective thought. He works address, among other things, issues of the multidimensionality of time, tension, perceptions of reality and human behaviour with insight and a sensitively curious attitude.
The works of the exhibition can be considered as musing condensations of Aho’s form of expression. They include, among other things, slow movement, smoke, coiling and releasing tensions and the moving image, but there are also completely static works. The artist uses a wide range of different materials, boldly combining, for instance, glass, sand, acrylic resin, wood and smoke, seeking their kinship or ‘mateship’. Bringing together various things of a different nature in terms of material, form and linguistic expression could be regarded as one of the characteristics of Aho’s work, as aptly stated in the title of the exhibition Pastel Lemon Yellow Soft Passive Aggressive.
