Abstract Reality

   collection

Abstract Reality illustrates recycling, the diversity of recycling, its abstract conceptual form rather than concrete recycling art. The ensemble of works is best described by the word multi-layered. Recycled rusted objects, shapes, are repeated in photographs and object collages and compositions.
           The objects are first photographed individually, the images are used independently and in photo collages and gathered together as a final sculpture-type object collage, assemblages.

The works refer to the synonymy of corrosion and corruption. In an abstract conceptual framework, I concertized
the corrosion of language, the corruption of concepts. There are two themes in my work, one of which is the appearance of pure abstract forms, in purely waste-like material. The second is the associations brought by these abstract forms that point away from the actual, depicted object.

           The theory of abstract painting and the relationship between the photograph is under special scrutiny. On a social level, the wholeness of the works is social critique in an allegorical form, a critique of the corrosion, the corrupted nature of culture.
 

Some of the works have been exhibited in 2015 in the magazine reading room of Orimattila Library. The works have been published together for the first time here on this page.
