Jiri Geller flirts with popular culture, provocation and art conventions. The artist's works are like flawless individuals lifted off a production line, but behind every paint surface and polished centimetre lie piles of working hours, technical skill and artistic vision. Jiri Geller's extensive retrospective exhibition presents works from the early days of the artist's career, from the late 1990s to recent years. The exhibition features several large-scale sculptural installations, such as the God Says No rolling staircase, The Big Time tidal wave and Maailmojen ottelu, which invites visitors to play. The newest works draw on the animal world with a Gelleresque extra seasoning. There are also several mechanical, moving sculptures on display. Jiri Geller has a who gives a f*ck attitude and the soul of a punk rocker. The artist carves candy colours and works blacker than black, balancing between surface and depth. Geller's world delights, irritates, hooks and invites you to ponder questions of existence, consumer culture and craftsmanship.
