About Liis Koger
Liis Koger, born 23.12.1989, is an Estonian painter and poet. Liis received a degree in Painting, Fine Arts from the University Of Tartu (2013). She minored in Theology and was enrolled in Psychology courses. Three poetry books have been written by her (all in Estonian). She started launching a career of freelance artist during schooltime.
Liis has had personal exhibitions in Rome (Italy), curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, the 45th Venice biennale curator; Berlin (Germany); Milan (Italy); Lugano and Manno (Switzerland) and many different locations in Estonia. She has participated in joint exhibitions and biennals in London, Luxembourg, Stockholm, Chisinau and the many exhibitions at homeland, organised by Estonian Artists' Association and Estonian Painters' Association. In 2017, she had important solo shows at Tallinn Airport and at Swedbank main building in Tallinn.
Liis's paintings are alltime present in public spaces like The Parliament Of Estonia in Toompea, Tallinn, and The Institute Of Mathematical Statistics in Tartu. Her works have been set up for different auctions, such as Bukowskis Market in Helsinki and Stockholm, and also for charity reasons, like the non-profit events organised by The British-Estonian Chamber Of Commerce and by Haus Gallery.
Her paintings have been reproduced in magazines, on textiles and honoured by musicians: her paintings are on LP designs, e.g. Ensemble Resonabilis North Wind, South Wind and Selvadore Rähni Premiére Rhapsodie longplayers. Her works can be found in galleries and private collections in Estonia, Finland, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, The United States Of America.
In 2021, she continues to applaud to the power that can be brought on with colours. Her eye for abstract art is strongly based on intimacy and nature and the effects they can have on human mind, health and overall wellbeing. The beauty that can be brought to everyday life with the myriad of frequencies that originate beyond the veil, so the forces may be with the viewer.
