Lisette Lepik’s solo exhibition Flow State focuses on the dialogue between painting as a non-linear medium and dance as a medium unfolding in time. The exhibition is guided by the question: how can movement that disappears in time be transformed into an image, and can painting convey the experience of movement?

Painting has traditionally been understood as a static, two-dimensional medium. Dance, by contrast, emerges through movement and duration. While the two mediums engage with time in different ways, both are shaped by gesture and bodily action. Movement in dance is experienced through time, whereas painting appears to suspend time, preserving traces of a process that has already passed.

Within both processes, there are moments when attention becomes fully absorbed in the act itself. As movement unfolds, awareness of the surrounding environment fades and the distinction between intention and action becomes less pronounced. Flow State draws on this shared condition, exploring how the fleeting presence of movement can leave traces that persist beyond the moment of its occurrence.

Flow State extends beyond the boundaries of painting into a carefully constructed spatial environment. Sound, light, and exhibition architecture become active participants in the work, gradually dissolving distinctions between image and atmosphere, observation and immersion. Together, these elements create a space where the exhibition’s central questions are experienced as much through the viewer’s movement and perception as through the paintings themselves.

Lisette Lepik (b. 1999, Tallinn, EE) is an artist working primarily with painting and installation. Her practice examines the body as a site where intimacy, memory, family structures, and social roles intersect. 

Lepik is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Contemporary Art at the Estonian Academy of Arts, where she completed a Bachelor’s degree in Painting in 2022, and studied installation and sculpture at the Iceland University of the Arts in 2019. She has exhibited in Estonia, Iceland, Austria, and Lithuania, including duo exhibitions with Brenda Purtsak at Tartu Art House and Hobusepea Gallery (2024), and a collaborative exhibition with Kristina Kuzemko at Club Virgin, a strip club in Tallinn (2025). Her most recent solo exhibition took place at Haapsalu City Gallery (2025). She received the Estonian Academy of Arts’ “Õpi ja sära” scholarship in 2024 and the Helju Rossmann Scholarship in 2025.
