Art exhibition at Archeus
on Wednesday 040112

This year we have been hosting an art exhibition here at Archeus. Paintings and sculptures by artists Pekka Homanen, Jaakko Mattila and Veikko Törmänen have been on display on our gallery space.

Pekka Homanen builds his art work on a mathematic formula 1+1=3. His paintings are as life itself, well planned, but the result is completely unexpected.

Jaakko Mattila is a very familiar artist to all of us working at Archeus since he had his studio in the same building. His works have often been on display here. In his art Mattila has lately been trying to be as mediocre as he can. He says the mistakes in the process are essential.

Veikko Törmänen's work is influenced by basic forms and colours. Paintings have evolved to be three-dimensional and almost sculpture like. Visuality without a story is the key to Törmänens work.

The opening of the exhibition was held in January 2011.

Jaakko Mattila's new exhibition Lohikäärmeen vuosi, Year of the Dragon will open on January 20th 2012 at Oulu Museum of Art.
