Founded by professionals with expertise in both the arts and business, The Blue Verve is built on a foundation of care, curiosity, and curatorial integrity.

We are proud to present Softshell - a Solo Exhibition by Eeva Paavela, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts of Helsinki. The title Softshell can refer to a material that offers its wearer warmth and comfort in addition to protection from harsh elements, or to a creature having a fragile shell, sometimes due to recent shedding. In Softshell, Paavela examines themes of vulnerability and self-protection, with a particular interest in layering, covering, and revealing.
