J.P Köykkä

In J.P Köykkä’s paintings, shades and forms form rhythmic melodies, bending into mechanical compositions that go between the abstract and the figurative. The installation of the paintings plays an essential role in the presentation. Sometimes the painting spreads out into the space, creating a mood and a spatial experience. Moving to the countryside and working there has brought hidden references from the history of Finnish art to Köykkä’s paintings. It is an interesting contrast to the work of an artist with a graffiti background who also references the tradition of still life painting. The artist’s works leave room for the viewer’s interpretation and adventure in their memories and mental landscapes.
