Pikisaari Old Wool Factory Ateliers
Old wool factory in Pikisaari is a place for artists "Sakari Matinlauri, Jyrki Poussu, Jaakko Pernu, Karoliina Niemelä, Lauri Rankka, Raimo Törhönen and Niilo Komulainen".
The art works are made in this place and it was open for Oulu art night.
When I arrived, the artists were putting this yellow long johns on a clothesline.
The first atelier was Lauri Rankka. There were many pressing machines that he used for his art. His wooden sculpture was very interesting which, he explained, is composed with human figures but it also looks like insects and plants.
All the lives in one. It was very beautiful.
In the same building, there were Raimo Törhönen's atelier as well.
He displayed his paintings along with Päivi Pussilan's landscape painting.
Her paintings, with dark color reminded another color of Finland that
I forgot during summer.
On the other sides, there were ateliers for metal and wood arts.
I was really impressed how wood as material mean for Jyrki Poussu.
"I have found a unique
relationship with wood - wood is warm, personal, and very
much a part of the Finnish character. It is perhaps one of the
most important material i have ever used. In wood, there
are always present traces of the past, and reminders of the
future. We see in in wood not only the markings of history,
but also the continuity of life - the circle of life."
