Peeter Allik (b 1966) is known for his bold sense of humour and excellent technical skills, which he mixes together to create works that show his characteristic style. It seems that he is only playing when he changes media and forms of expression to find ones that best suit his ideas: he paints, etches into linoleum, builds installations, participates in performances by the Non Grata artists’ group or tries his hand in some other witty endeavour. Allik himself says the following about his interests: “My dear teacher Ilmar Malin used the term ‘cultivated schizophrenia’. Since I am not actually crazy, he thought that I must be pretending to be and was cultivating different polarities that were then combined.”
