Recent Work

Totte Mannes was invited in May, 2007, to exhibit her paintings from the past twenty years in two exhibitions in Seinäjoki, Finland: one at the 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 were displayed at the Galleria Uusitalo in Helsinki. (www.galleriauusitalo.fi).

Totte worked 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' was shown at the Finnish Institute in Madrid 14 February - 13 March, and then at the Uusitalo Gallery in Helsinki from 2 July 2008.
