The latest exhibition by Kirsi Reinikka, Seeking & Finding emerged after two intense years of art-making with a focus on painting, and now exists as the iteration of earlier explorations, beginning in 2020. The first shift toward loosening her expression began while working in Alice Springs, NT, where she attended short-term art workshops at Charles Darwin University. This continued in 2021 through ‘Art as Therapy’ group sessions she co-facilitated at World Wellness Group in Brisbane, where she explored materials, lines, shapes and ideas alongside participants.
In 2023, Kirsi actively sought new stimuli through online art courses and experiments across media, including ceramics. She is currently mentored in painting via correspondence through the London-based art school Turps Banana, and a RADF Quick Arts Grant from Logan City Council enabled her to participate in Drawing Towards Painting with Glen Skien at Brisbane Institute of Art.
This ongoing process of seeking and finding has ultimately culminated in the exhibition presented presently at Side Gallery.
