This booklet contains a selection of this Finnish artist (b. 1970) most interesting works. The art transgresses the boundaries between handicraft, high art and popular culture, and therefore he can be linked to famous male artists of the history of art - to Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Jeff Coons. His art refer to the tradition of handicraft through his use of materials and craftmanship. In his hands black leather together with bright colored leather, like red, gold and blue, create visually and aesthetically pleasant and beautiful surfaces. He has created sculptures for the home such as a steel bed covered with leather, a table, chairs, mirrors, and even a car.
