Chain reaction / Kahlereaktio – Pasi Vainionpää

In my exhibition, I aim to depict the individual’s mental state in contemporary society through self-irony and dark humor. I am interested in the subconscious and psychological phenomena, our various ways of reacting to the ups and downs of life as we try to survive the challenges of being human in this fragmented age. One theme is the fragile meaning of existence.

The works are ceramic sculptures and installations. My approach is narrative and metaphorical. I strive for a balance between content and technical execution, as well as interpretative layering. I consciously utilize stereotypes and clichés. There are other levels behind the obvious. Interpretations can be alternative, overlapping, or intertwined. Hopefully, my works also reach something nameless.

The Arts Promotion Centre / Satakunta Art Committee supports the exhibition.
