Exhibition of Estonian Watercolour Society
“Echoes of Nature: journey through diverse Estonian natural environment”
05.10.-01.12.2024
Exhibition of Estonian Watercolour Society “Echoes of Nature: journey through diverse Estonian natural environment” invites you to discover and engross in the reality of our beautiful, yet vulnerable nature. Estonian nature graces our country beginning with quiet sea coasts and lush forests to open fields and mysterious bogs. Still, we face serious challenges threatening the integrity and diversity of our nature.
The present exhibition joins diverse themes which address urgent problems of our environment, including destruction and contamination of forests, consequences of climate change and loss of natural habitat. Artists have created artworks which pay attention to these questions and agitate the audience to think which steps to take to protect and restore nature.
The artworks reflect the beauty and diversity of Estonian natural landscapes but also highlight their vulnerability. Each artwork is a unique interpretation of our nature, as well as an invitation to discuss environmental problems and motivate to take steps to solve them.
Join us on this journey to discover the echoes of Estonian nature and to think how we could create a better future together where man and nature live in harmony. The exhibition calls not just to watch but also to see – to notice the beauty and vulnerability of our environment and to take responsibility in the name of future.
