Current & Future Work

Totte Mannes was invited in May, 2007, to exhibit her paintings from the past twenty years in two exhibitions in Seinäjoki, Finland: one atthe Municipal Art Hall and the other at the Varikko Gallery. The exhibitions were a great success and gained very positive reviews in the press.

July 2007: Totte's works are at present on display at the Galleria Uusitalo in Helsinki. (www.galleriauusitalo.fi).

Totte is currently working on a new series of oil paintings called "Dismantled Sculptures". Totte describes this new series as "de-structivist", in contrast to "con-structivist". The first of the 'Dismantled Sculptures' will be shown at the Finnish Institute in Madrid during 14th February - 13th March, and then at the Uusitalo Gallery in Helsinki starting the 2nd July, 2008.
