From Art Vietnam:
You are invited to Maritta Nurmi’s exhibition “After the End of Art Anything Goes”. In this playful exhibition fusing art and fashion, Maritta Nurmi puts herself in the vanguard of our times.
The artist is already noted for her richly detailed works of silver, aluminum and copper leaf on canvas. In this exhibition, she continues along this path adding text and textile to accentuate her effervescent surfaces. Freed from the constraints of making “Art” as it is currently conceived, Nurmi explores all sorts of media and objects, elevating the everyday and mundane into what we may call the zone of the sublime.

In the midst of all the playfulness, Nurmi takes her ideas into yet another dimension. Inspired by the colorful textiles of the people of Benin, in West Africa, where she was an artist in residence in 2009, she had fabrics of her artworks made in India and then transformed the fabric into her own eclectic mode of fashion, Couture Adorable de Maritta.
