On 10 October, the Estonian Watercolour’ Association’s large group exhibition “DUO: Restraint and Explosion” was opened at the Rapla County Centre for Contemporary Art.<\/p>\n

The exhibition brings together nearly thirty renowned and diverse authors. Most of them are members of the Estonian Watercolourists’ Association, but there are also guest artists. “DUO: Restraint and Explosion” does not mean harmony, but a constant field of tension. The works explore contrasts and extremes \u2013 silence and sound, the purity of light and the depth of shadow, cold and warmth, balance and its breakdown. The viewer is placed in a situation where balance is not given by itself, but is sought, shifted and sometimes even broken. Conflict here does not mean the end, but the beginning of something new.<\/p>\n
