Eeva Karhu

The work of Eeva Karhu has been strongly influenced by the impressionists, in particular by Monet and Turner. She follows the concept of capturing a moment by using light and colour to create a certain atmosphere. Light as the initial starting point for her work as a photographer implies not only the possibility to transpose a sentiment into a tableau but also serves as the essence of colour. In their result very impressionistic, the method of Karhu’s work is rather cubistic: in one image hundred of various fragments of the same motif can be seen from numerous different angles.
