stillness and a glimpse of white





Rullakartiini 2006









Talvipuutarha 2006




Unlike his master Penti Kaskipuro, Riippa employs colour. However, what they share is the ambition for timelessness and the fondness for still lifes. Riippa seldom uses an object for a model; rather than aiming for detailed resemblance, he conveys the character of things.

Riippa Esa (Finnish, b.1947)

you must go on
































Here he stood. Here he sat. Here he knelt. Here he lay. Here he moved, to and fro, from the door to the window, from the window to the door; from the window to the door, from the door to the window; from the fire to the bed, from the bed to the fire; from the bed to the fire, from the fire to the bed.


Samuel Beckett: from Watt


You must go on.
I can’t go on.
You must go on.
I’ll go on.
You must say words, as long as there are any...

a curtain is pulled






an arm reaches out
a curtain is pulled
a window is opened
the light is let in
yet behind each one
of these gestures
there is another gesture
undoing what is being done.

i seek the silence
undoing me.
