LÜHIBIOGRAAFIA

Hedi Kuhi (s. 1998) on Kõrgema Kunstikooli Pallas maali eriala tudeng, kes on lõpetamas oma bakalaureuseõpinguid. Enne Pallast omandas ta Tartu Kunstikoolis dekoraatori eriala. 2023. aastal pälvis Kuhi Pallase maalikunsti stipendiumi, mille tulemusena valmis Tartu Kunstimajas tema isikunäitus ,,Jälle siin”. 2024. aastal osales ta duonäitusel ,,Pallase tüdrukud” Tallinna Kunstiruumi galeriis koos Mari Frühlinguga. Samal aastal esines ka duonäitusel ,,Valga. Mälestused ja unistused” Valga Kultuurikeskuses koos Danel Ülperiga. 

Oma loomingus keskendub ta argielule, kodulinna kujutamisele, metsikuse ja korra tasakaalule. Teda huvitavad ajaga tekkinud kulumise jäljed nii looduses, linnas kui ka inimestes. Tema maalidel põimuvad figuurid, loodusmotiivid ja linnapildid, luues mõtiskluse inimese ja tema elukeskkonna vahelistest sidemetest. Kuhi loob peamiselt akrüül- ja õlimaale, aga viljeleb ka joonistusi ja graafikat. Hetkel keskendub ta Pallase lõputööle.

She is interested in the traces of time and decay found in nature, the city, and people themselves. In her paintings, figures, natural motifs, and urban landscapes intertwine, creating reflections on the connections between humans and their living environments.
