LAST CHANCE Be sure to experience gallery artist Inka Bell’s contribution to the group exhibition ‘Experiments in Concretism’ at EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Finland, before the show closes this Sunday, March 2. The museum wrote the following about the exhibition: “EMMA’s collection exhibition offers a fresh take on the long tradition and contemporary forms of concrete art. Featuring work by more than fifty artists, the show highlights the complexity, material diversity and playful approach of the movement.   Concretism is an art movement characterised by the use of non-representational forms, structures and geometry. The exhibition at EMMA presents concretist works from different periods, from the very beginning of the movement in the 1950s to the present day. […] Many of the works are spatial and seek to activate the viewer’s faculties of perception. In the context of EMMA, concretism finds significant resonance with the industrial and geometric architecture of the WeeGee building designed by Aarno Ruusuvuori.” Read more at www.emmamuseum.fi. - Photo: Ari Karttunen / EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art @inkabell @emmamuseum #inkabell #emmamuseum #experimentsinconcretism #bricksgallery

CONNECTING PEOPLE / PAVE studio artist presentation: Inka Bell (b. 1981) is a Helsinki-based visual artist who works within the expanded field of printmaking, exploring printed images, paper sculptures, and public art. Her interests lie in visual phenomena and the limitless possibilities of constructing image surfaces. Bell, who often works in series, brings echoes of Minimalism, Concretism and Kinetic art into her pieces. Through materials, colour, form, and repetition, her works explore the relationship between the two- and three-dimensional. Bell’s colour choices, and the visual observations born with in her works resist verbalisation and external interpretation. ‍ In Bell’s practice, paper plays a central role— as a material for printing or for shaping into new forms. A longstanding aspect of her process is the dialogue and playful experimentation with the materials and techniques used to create images. This interplay sometimes appears as disruptions—or “glitches”—on the image surface, as printing ink and paper begin to blend. Meanwhile, the process of making Bell’s paper sculptures is faintly reminiscent of weaving: two surfaces meet, but the artwork only becomes fully visible through the accumulation of several hundreds or even tens of thousands of repetitions and overlapping elements. Bell continually seeks new ways to merge analogue printmaking with newer techniques of mark- and image-making.

Final days to see ”Grey Area” at Turku Art Museum! 28 November 2025 – 18 January 2026 ”Often serial and based on geometric forms, Bell’s works are subtle events of transition and transformation, where a seemingly simple surface reveals movement, depth, or color only upon closer inspection. They challenge perception: where lies the boundary between surface and space, image and object, repetition and change? Bell’s practice does not aim for a single outcome, but rather a series of phases and tones that move between one another. The exhibition occupies this gray area—between black and white, light and shadow, certainty and uncertainty—where things are neither clear nor absolute, but in constant flux. It offers the viewer an experience in which process, material, and perception intertwine in a fascinating way.” The exhibition is supported by the Finnish Heritage Agency and the Arts Promotion Centre Finland. #inkabell #turkuartmuseum
