Nordic Artist Exchange: Artist Talks

October 24 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Join us for a very special artist talk presenting Regina-Mareta Soonsein and Edgar Tedresaar, prominent Nordic Artists, discussing their artwork, career, and future plans.

The Nordic Artist Exchange (NAX) is delighted to welcome two talented artists from Tartu, Estonia, to the Cotton Factory in Hamilton as part of our esteemed residency program. Selected by the Tartu Artist Union, Regina-Mareta Soonsein and Mr. Edgar Tedresaar are joining us for an exciting month of artistic exploration and cultural exchange.

Ms. Regina-Mareta Soonsein, a celebrated linocut artist, brings a distinctive style to the NAX residency. A Pallas University of Applied Sciences graduate, Soonsein has been actively exhibiting her work since 2017, earning prestigious awards such as the Biafarin Award at the NordArt exhibition and the Year's Newcomer's title from The Association of Estonian Printmakers in 2019. Her dedication to her craft and ability to captivate audiences with her detailed linocuts make her an exceptional addition to the residency. Learn more about Regina-Mareta at reginamareta.com.

Mr. Edgar Tedresaar, a prominent abstract expressionist painter, has an impressive academic background from Tartu Art College and Tartu University. Known for his dynamic large-scale outdoor murals and abstract works, Tedresaar's art delves into the unseen realms of energy, emotions, and psychology that connect us all. His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, establishing him as a rising star in the contemporary art world. More about Edgar can be found at edgartedresaar.com.
