Gokhan Burhan

Gokhan Burhan is an Istanbul-born visual artist. He makes analog collages and acrylic paintings, with typographic and abstract elements. 

Distortion and manipulation of the irregular sums of words and shapes are his elements of abstraction. Letters become abstract forms and barely readable at first.

Burhan works around a specific theme, word, or quote and aims to indicate issues such as inequality, political corruption, intercultural miscommunication, censorship, and sociocultural conflicts …

Ville Färsaaret

Ville Färsaaret (b. 1986) is a Lappeenranta-born and Tampere-based self taught visual artist and cultural activist. For a few decades he has worked with graffiti and installations using various materials and selfmade tools. Perhaps completely unique to him, Färsaaret uses the primitive painting program Art Alive! of the Sega Mega Drive -video game console from the early 1990s. The outcome is originally minimal and stretches the limits of the clumsy video game programme.

Mikko Kelloniemi: LOVE SO RANDOM

Pieces displayed at the exhibition are from the series Love so random, a haiku for change and randomness of life. The series consists of abstract pieces painted on glass as well as some ceramic works. These works portray the constant flux of humanity. They can be seen as a gentle ode to emotions and inner worlds, a nanolevel deep dive into the abstract nature of the human process.

Mikko Kelloniemi is a versatile visualist who has  worked as a cinematographer and photographer. After getting involved in graffiti-culture in the late 90s, Kelloniemi has painted for nearly 25 years using various techniques. In his paintings, Kelloniemi is currently interested in abstract forms and experimental painting techniques.

Olavi Viheriälä: A NEW LIFE

Not everything has to be bought new and old materials can also be given a new life. My exhibition consists of works that have been primarily done on used materials using old paints and recycled frames. All the materials have now been given a new life, love and time. The work brings together colorfulness, abstract shapes and the mental landscape of street art.

Olavi Viheriälä is a Helsinki-based visual artist, whose style brings together abstract style and the elements of street art. Viheriälä uses various techniques in his work, from paint brushes and knives to spray and digital art. In addition to abstract art Viheriälä has also produced art works about the Finland national football team, fan culture and association teams.
