Siiri Jüris (1992) is an Estonian painter currently living and working in Uppsala, Sweden. She holds a BA and MA in Painting from the University of Tartu (2015, 2017) and an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (2021). Using archival materials and personal memories as a foundation, interwoven with fictional narratives, she creates immersive worlds saturated in color, where figurative and abstract, synthetic and organic, traditional and digital visual languages converge. Her paintings are created through an intuitive, slow, and layered process, in which the acrylic material is treated as an active agent, allowing unexpected forms and patterns to emerge. She uses the vibrancy and dullness, fluidity and transparency of the acrylic to create a strong visual experience, combining classical painting techniques with arts and crafts and post-internet aesthetics.
Siiri Jüris’ exhibition at Tütar gallery will be open until May 4th and is free to the public.
The exhibition is supported by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
The exhibition takes place in collaboration between Tütar gallery and Galleri Duerr.
