Invisible, all-encompassing phenomena such as heat, cold, wind, (un)happiness, desire, love, poverty, wealth play the leading roles in a fragmented narrative about the weather and its irritating omnipresence in the everyday life of the society that lives in it. The work contains many personal reflections and references to people and situations. Lukas Weidinger and Liisa Kruusmägi have created a joint work where one story is told within another. Some look at the outside – the weather in the cityscape, others colorfully depict life indoors.
Liisa Kruusmägi is a freelance artist working primarily with painting, drawing, and ceramics. Liisa Kruusmägi has been painting her thoughts and feelings, featuring people, animals, and the things around her in various environments often using bright colours in her practice . In addition to having held numerous exhibitions, she has also focused on creating public artworks, for example her large murals are on the north side of Paide Pritsumaja and above the entrance of Tops Bar in Tallinn.
Lukas Weidinger is a freelance graphic artist and comic author from Austria. Weidinger has studied in Vienna, Leipzig, and Strasbourg. Since then creating, editing and publishing a range of solo and collaborative comic books, anthologies, print series, besides working on commissioned illustration, screenwriting, tattoos and more. Weidinger takes us on a journey through landscapes bursting with life – from lively streets in modest, workingclass neighborhoods to front-row seats in a theatre where an orchestra plays joyfully out-of-tune.
