Art Exhibition: Marjatta Järvi

June's Artist: Marjatta Järvi

The exhibition features Marjatta Järvi's cold-wax oil paintings and antique teddy bears. The paintings on the library wall were created over a couple of years, and Järvi developed the technique through a master class with artist Outi Hägg, among other studies. Final works from the same course are also on view at Auroratalo in EspooArt's spaces from 29.5.-24.8.2026 and at Strömfors Bruk Gallery from 31.7.-30.8.2026.

The display case features the teddy bears' own exhibition: one bear views its portrait alongside its companions, and on the second level is a woodcut collage with bear motifs. Järvi handmade the bears several years ago. The woodcut technique became familiar through Pekka Halonen Academy's 10-week Thematic Visual Art programme.

The works are on display at South Haaga Library from 1.-30.6.2026.
