Description: Pauno Pohjolainen (born 1949) became known in the 1980?s for his Neo-expressionist works that helped modernise Finnish art. This retrospective exhibition at the Didrichsen Art Museum brings the ever topical works of this Kuopio artist to the capital?s public. The show covers more than thirty years of the artistþs career. Starting out as a painter, the artist gradually broke free from the form limitations of rectangularity in favour of a more three-dimensional expression. His works are mostly abstract reliefs made largely from resin and pigment. Pohjolainen also developed an almost pious relationship to wood, particularly to its delicate texture. Pauno Pohjolainen was awarded the Ars Fennica prize in 1997 and the Pro Finlandia in 2005.
Notes: On the occasion of an exhibition held at the Didrichsen Art Museum, Helsinki, February 28 - August 9, 2015.
