RETROSPECT

Marko Mäetamm (b 1965) is an Estonian artist, who´s retrospective was the first rotation exhibition at PoCo. And for good reason – Marko is a major force in Estonian (pop) art scene. He is known for his provocative and often darkly humorous works. Mäetamm began to develop his signature approach in the 1990s, using childlike imagery to address disturbing or socially critical subjects. The 1990s works also reflect the broader context of post-Soviet Estonia, where questions of identity, freedom, and Western cultural influence became central.
