[From back cover] Riitta Nelimarkka's OCEANIA in its original esthetics is a surprisingly truthful grown-up children's art book which gives a refreshing impression of independence and friendly anarchism. It is a secret peep at the colours and forms of the submarine kingdom, a delightfully humanized approach to the emotions and love life of the most bizarre amoebas and starfish. Apart from the fact that OCEANIA is a definite artistic eruption, it is also the artist's emphatic opinion on behalf of the strangest manifestations of life and nature. This collection has been exhibited at many galleries and museums. The first showing entitled "The Joyful Sea" was held at Amos Andersen's Art Museum in 1990.
