Jean-Michel Othoniel’s solo exhibition Under an Endless Light is currently on view at the Sara Hildén Art Museum in Tampere, Finland. Marking the first major solo exhibition in Scandinavia, the exhibition covers a wide range of works from the early 2000s to the present, highlighting Othoniel’s practice centered around the theme of nature’s marvels.

This exhibition presents approximately sixty works, many of which reflect Othoniel’s fascination for botany and colors reminiscent of the emergence of spring blooms. Visitors are first greeted by Wonder Blocks (2022), specially created for the exhibition, followed by Fontaine (2015), echoing the Finnish landscapes. Passiflora (2023) and Gold Lotus (2015) contrast with the rugged concrete walls of the museum’s brutalist architecture, presenting a unique experience for the audience. The exhibition extends to the sculpture park, showcasing Othoniel's large kinetic sculpture, Gold Lotus (2015), alongside the massive necklace Collier Or (2017) hanging from a tree.

Capturing the splendor of nature and illuminating its mysterious essence, Othoniel's grand creations engage in a dialogue that encompasses both history and innovation, embodied in his unique language using glass bricks and beads with his own palette of colors. Under an Endless Light continues through September 15.
