'Classmates shows paintings and drawings by two of my fellow students at the Academy of Arts from the 80s. As I say in the wall text, we were preparing ourselves to something that never arrived. This means, when we studied we thought we would be painters in Soviet Estonia, showing oil paintings twice a year at the local Art Hall and never pictured ourselves as part of the international art scene. In 1990 when we graduated, everything changed, Estonia got back its independence and artists got different opportunities that some of us, like myself, got a chance to use. Back then, we were trained to draw and paint realistically, the classes were 6 days a week, for 6 years. Nowadays you do not have such an opportunity anymore, and the old works appear different now. What it means, to be talented? What is professional? In the video, I ask three painters about their perception of ” painting well” or ” good painting”, what does it mean for them? The visual part of the video was put together of the ” empty” details of famous paintings, the backgrounds, where only painting remains. '
