Mariann Metsis and Liina Siib are exhibiting together at Galerina in London. Metsis presents two new paintings featuring monochrome layers and subdued urban forms that emerge through subtle modulations of texture and surface, with reflections positioning the image between visibility and withdrawal. Siib exhibits her work *A Room* alongside Metsis's paintings, creating a dialogue between painting and installation.
The exhibition matters because it brings together two Estonian artists working in different media—painting and installation—to explore how images are read through shifting systems of association, including paint, grain, architecture, memory, and reproduction. The show highlights the continued relevance of material exploration and perceptual ambiguity in contemporary art, and underscores Galerina's role in presenting international artists to a London audience.
