Seven seas and Eight Tears

Paavo Paunu, Rauma Art Museum
May 5 – October 4, 2026

The exhibition Seven Seas and Eight Tears by visual artist Paavo Paunu will be on display at the Rauma Art Museum 9.5.–4.10.2026. The exhibition consists of Paunu’s paintings, sculptures and installations. The oldest work on display is from 1995, and there are also new works created especially for this exhibition.

Paavo Paunu (b. 1965) is known as a painter and sculptor, but his works also mischievously cross the boundaries of media. Each individual painting or sculpture tells its own unique story and at the same time offers a broader view of the ancient framework of the medium in question.

– Paunu has lived and worked in Rauma since 1999, and his production has been a significant part of the art scene in the area. The works are very physical – the paintings even come out of the wall surface – and at the same time strongly story-driven. In addition, they are characterized by a rich and enjoyable range of colors from the entire spectrum.
