No man’s land, what is this shit?
Spray paint, oil color and plastic soldiers glued on canvas
2010
So here is something different. I was exploring the idea of painting outside of canvas, or world as a painting . Lot of ideas going through my head; structures of power, wars, how masses are controlled and so on. What if people were the paint. My first idea was to organice them neatly into lines like, but i felt the reality was different and ended up tossing them on the canvas. The title of the work piece of lyrics from a Sepultura song "Refuse, resist"
larger images below.
It is a beautiful and unique abstract and it sends out s strong message.
Thank you
This. I like this. Good job.
Thank you very much
Very cool 3D art! :-) :-)
Thank you :)
wow! interesting way @mikkolyytinen
Thank you @nekromarinist
I have to feel art. I felt this piece. Powerful feelings. Great work @mikkolyytinen
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. There are some heavy themes here.
I really like this one! :)
Thanks it was pretty fun idea to work. I've used these soldiers in another project with the group, i'll post that
later
Great!
Thank you!
Where do you expose your work? How much? :)
I had three exhibitions around Finland this year. gallery Ars Nova in Savonlinna was the latest, gallery Becker in Jyväskylä and P-galleria in Pori before that. I had exhibitions in Helsinki 2014 and Lahti 2012 before that. This piece was part of my show in gallery Oyoy in Lahti back in 2010, along the award winning Pyhätön. $2000 for this one.
I absolutely love the composition of your piece. Refuse/Resist is damn lovely song, and of course you can see the chaos of the war in, all the composition remember me Sudan or Burundi wars. Beautiful work, man, but I have to show it to a art curator. Is a shame all the galleries are only in finland. Do you have any review?
Thank you very much. There hasn't been much written in English unfortunately. Not featuring this piece, but this is a link to a review in Finnish from my exhibition last summer in Keskisuomalainen by Raisa Jäntti.
