Kari Huhtamo – VARIATIO ARCTICA SCULPTURA

Kuvanveistäjä Kari Huhtamon näyttely VARIATIO ARCTICA SCULPTURA esitettiin Tretjakovin Galleriassa Moskovassa syksyllä 2009. Kyseessä oli Tretjakovin Gallerian ensimmäinen suomalaisen taiteilijan näyttely. Nyt VARIATIO ARCTICA SCULPTURA saapuu Taidehalliin. Kokonaisuus rakentuu uusimmista teoksista, joita ei ole aikaisemmin Suomessa nähty. Mukana on Huhtamon klassikoiksi muodostuneiden eleganttien teräsveistosten lisäksi valokuvia ja grafiikkaa.
