Absence
Lehtonen Braun Niina
A small girl looks at a garden: it is spring, a bird cherry tree is blossoming. The girl walks in the garden: it is summer, the woolly seeds of poplars cover the ground like snow. You can get lost in a big garden like this. The girl walks around in a forest and snowy nature. She is filled with the sense of absence.

Niina Lehtonen Braun is a Berlin based visual artist and a performer, originally from Helsinki, Finland. Her strong visual world is based on her unique way of combining and rearranging texts and photos with her ink paintings and drawings. Lehtonen Braun has exhibited in several international venues, including Paper Gallery (Manchester, UK, 2019) Haus am Lützowplatz, (Berlin, Germany, 2019), Sinne Gallery (Helsinki, Finland, 2014) and Torrance Art Museum, (CA, USA, 2018). She is also a part of a performance group JOKAklubi, which is a camp-spirited group known for their visually rich, wild shows, which combine guest stars, music and talk show.
