Ninapi Gallery is proud to announce the first solo exhibition of
Estonian-born New York artist Jaanika Peerna in Italy.
For the exhibition Jaanika Peerna is transforming the three
large gallery spaces into an all-encompassing site specific installation using
large scale graphite drawings on mylar and video projections. There will be a
live drawing performance at the opening of her exhibition on February 21.
Peerna’s skillfully made dense surfaces of straight line
drawings and video footage of natural phenomena turn into enveloping sculptural
forms which every gallery visitor can navigate and explore from various vantage
points. Drawings vary in scale from tiny
10x10cm to vast room-size surfaces which playfully integrate into the gallery
spaces creating a sense of walking amidst canyons and flowing rivers. The
borders between drawing, sculpture and video melt away—Peerna’s work is pushed
by a strong sense of physical presence whether drawing in her studio, filming
in the outdoors, or in the creation of her atmospheric exhibition designs.
