Sergei Inkatov's solo exhibition “Helios” invites you to the world of abstract painting and gives a unique insight into a world order that is full of feelings, colour and energy of life.
The main direction of Sergei's art practice is expressive and abstract compositions. As a mature professional artist, Sergei's original painting style is able to blend different cultures with the use of lush and strong colours.
Sergei Inkatov was born in Baku and has been living in Estonia since 1994. Sergei has had various solo exhibitions in the Baltic and Nordic countries as well as the Netherlands, Germany, UK and Russia. He has participated in famous international art expos such as Beijing Art Expo and Artexpo New York, and has been the laureate of many international and domestic art competitions.
The exhibition “May You Be Loved and Protected” will open at Tallinn Art Hall on 16 October at 6 pm, bringing to audiences the works of Dénes Farkas, Tõnis Saadoja and Jevgeni Zolotko as well as a selection of works from the Prinzhorn Collection, displayed in light boxes. The curator of the exhibition is Tamara Luuk.
“The story of every exhibition begins with the artists that resonate with you. If there happens to be more than one, they indeed have to be excellent artists, so that their simultaneous speech does not become a hammering cacophony in your head. The experience of viewing the works by Dénes Farkas, Tõnis Saadoja and Jevgeni Zolotko has been more powerful than speech. Rather, it resembles a flood where you have to keep your mouth shut to stay afloat. ‘Our own’ Hungarian Dénes Farkas, ‘our own’ Russian Jevgeni Zolotko and ‘our own’ Estonian Tõnis Saadoja present a powerful cross-section of the modest potential of the diversity of Estonian society.

On 2 October, the exhibition “Modern Love (or Love in the Age of Cold Intimacies)” curated by Katerina Gregos will open at the Museum für Neue Kunst in Freiburg, Germany. The exhibition is the first major international co-production for Tallinn Art Hall.
According to Paul Aguraiuja, Director of Tallinn Art Hall, it is exceptional for an Estonian art institution to initiate and lead the production of an international exhibition which is currently scheduled to be displayed in three countries, while preliminary negotiations have already begun with potential additional exhibition venues. “I believe that this exhibition, in addition to the recent Forbes article, will enhance the image of Tallinn as an emerging centre of contemporary art and will benefit Estonian artists as well as the local exhibition audience.
This current exhibition is part of my personal exhibition, which took place in March 2019 at Draakon Gallery (“PS. The Psalms and Prophet Jonah in the
Belly of the Whale”) The Psalms or Psalter (Hebrew םי לִּ הִ תְּ tehillim, Greek ψαλμοί) is one of the most important and well-known part of the Jewish and Christian scripture. There are 150 psalms.
The central theme of the psalms is praise give to the Lord. The main task of human life is to pray and render praise. All the creation, but especially the human heart, is a temple of God. Accordig to psalms, there is a knowledge of the source and purpose of life in our hearts.

Angela Soop: “Current exhibition serves as the first one from the cycle consisting of four parts. The cycle arises and changes according to the surrounding and inner state. The meanings of the words “war” and “peace” depend on the ways of interpretation and the context. While preparing for this exhibition I was unable to foresee the situation today. Concepts have become more reverse, yet the lights seem to have turned down a bit. Borders become vague, volumes coincide and transform. The exhibition is based on perceiving the states and observing various influencing factors.
From Saturday, 26 September Arne Maasik’s solo exhibition “Individual Spaces” can be visited in the large gallery of the Tartu Art House.
The exhibition consists of Maasik’s latest central photo series “Geometry and Metaphysics”, “Limen” and “Tangles”. All the images are displayed in Tartu for the first time and the images of “Tangles” have been specially selected from previously unreleased materials. The series are brought together by Elnara Taidre’s essay “Individual Spaces”.
Taidre writes: “The general dynamism of Maasik’s oeuvre could be described as movement from depiction of nature that strives for order towards the depiction of ideal architecture. The leafless trunks and branches of “Tangles” on the black-and-white photos have an aesthetic effect and are even graphical in nature.
