We are delighted to invite you to an exhibition by the talented artist Brita Weglin. The exhibition, titled Give Me Sunshine…, reflects on the darker times we live in with both seriousness and humor. Brita's artistic expression spans a variety of techniques, including painting, sculpture, and embroidery.

Brita shares the following about her exhibition:
"My work explores existence. Many of my pieces are rooted in the Annus horribilis—the year the COVID-19 pandemic broke out—spreading fear and uncertainty about our future. The threats of environmental destruction and the precariousness of life on Earth are daunting and ever-present."

"The myth of Janus symbolizes beginnings and endings. He opens and closes the gates of light and is depicted with two faces—one looking into the future and the other into the past. I have embroidered my interpretation of Janus, inspired by Roman mythology."

"As a source of 'lighthearted cheer' in these dark times, I created Give Me Sunshine…, weaving and embroidering the hope of brighter days ahead—when the pandemic subsides, and we escape death to embrace light and life once more."

*"With humor, I try to take the edge off my fears. As the song goes:
'Cover me in sunshine! Shower me with good times! Tell me that the world’s been spinning since the beginning! And everything will be alright!' (J Arthur)."

Don't miss this thought-provoking and uplifting exhibition that blends poignant reflections with a playful twist.
