Is Virtuality better than Reality? Two figures on the poster are looking for that answer? Are they communicating with each other face to face or are they Googleing?

Haapsalu Graphic Design Festival (HGDF) focuses on the developments of poster art and the author’s creative hand-writing in graphic design. This years festival is inspired from Haapsalu Tchaikovsky Festival (june 28th – july the 1st). Important extra is an exhibition “Estonian Cultural Poster 2017”.
My poster serie is a tribute for Tchaikovsky´s “Swan Lake” and “Nutcracker”. They are representing the visual keywords and composers inner struggle, shame, lust for life and feverish composing. Easy-going artistic style symbolizes the superficial life, but on the other side these are interpretations of contrasts – love and lust, ideals, dreams and disappointments, man, woman and transgender relations, life and death.

I took part in “Individuality” exhibition with sub-theme “Alien”. The poster is a humorous tribute for the motion picture “Alien”, but also gently refers to minorities, as they feel like “alien” in narrow-minded society.

Haapsalu Graphic Design Festival has 10th anniversary in collaboration with Estonian Graphic Artists’ Union and Haapsalu Culture Centre.
Haapsalu Culture Centre and Estonian Cultural Endowment presents two international exhibitions dedicated to poster design. “Fresh Polish Poster” is focused on the developments of the acclaimed Polish poster culture in the world (posters from 2012-2014) and “Polish Poster Classics”, featuring works from the last quarter of the 20th century. Together, the exhibitions comprise over a hundred posters by more than 30 artists. This is probably the biggest survey exhibition of Polish poster in Estonia.
This years theme “Mono” is displayed again in the 1 x 2 meter poster format. Participants are 40 graphic artists from Estonia, Latvia, Russia, Belarus, UK, Equador and Columbia. My “Mono” is an easy-going tribute to Vincent van Gogh, spiced with a pinch of black humor.
Festival is supported by Estonian Cultural Endowment, Polish Embassy in Tallinn, Haapsalu, Estonian Graphic Artists Union.

THE MASTERPIECE OF THE ART OF BREWING CIDER (Piknik 2.0. Eine murul)
The print ads of Saku Brewery’s new ciders were not created
by advertising agency designers but by ten Estonian top
artists. Inspired by the new ciders, they created unique
works of art they found best suited to characterize the new
products!
When the campaign ended, the original works of art were
sold at an auction and the proceeds of the auction went to
the artists.
