Tomáš Jetela / Riiko Sakkinen / Perttu Mäkelä

Tomáš Jetela: Morning Star

Czech contemporary painter Tomáš Jetela combines figurative imagery and abstract expression through painting, drawing, and collage. His expressionistic approach focuses on the human psyche in constant flux.

Riiko Sakkinen: Works on Panama Papers

Riiko Sakkinen is known for drawings and paintings that address the world's economic and social problems. Sakkinen's "turborealism" challenges traditional visual storytelling by employing figures and products from popular culture - and inverting their original message.

Perttu Mäkelä: Field Trip

Perttu Mäkelä's works exist at the intersection of representational and abstract art. His inspiration comes from nearby sources - the meadows he has cultivated, which teem with life in summer. Clear lines and blending colors reveal delicate and multifaceted wholes.
