A small retrospective

Warmly welcome to the Little Retrospective exhibition celebrating Pertti Karjalainen's 40-year artistic career at the Jyväskylä Artists' Association gallery in Säynätsalo municipal building on 7.-28.11.2026. The exhibition is a distillation of the artist's work from his studies to the present day. The retrospective brings to light the artist's development over the decades. "In my work, I develop expression in which two- and three-dimensionality engage in dialogue and where painting lives and meets in color and form. Color is an element that carries a significant message against the weariness brought by time." The exhibition has free admission during the municipal building's opening hours; in winter on Saturdays from 12-15. By paying the municipal building entrance fee (11 €/ 6,50 €/ Museum Card) you can visit other spaces and join a guided tour at 14. At other times by advance reservation via email [email protected]. The exhibition is part of the New Corner project supported by the Alfred Kordelin Foundation, transforming the municipal building into a space for culture, led by Marjaana Pakkanen.
