Artist Group T.p.l á 10/10

The members of the artist group T.p.l á 10/10 work in the fields of printmaking, painting, sculpture, and installation art. Below, each member briefly describes the starting points of their artistic practice.

• Tuija Ekholm: To be able to paint, one must learn to draw. But where does the boundary between line and surface lie?

• Tiia Hovi explores the relationship between dogs and humans in her paintings, aiming to capture a sense of fleeting moments and timeless stillness.

• Satu Ketola is currently focused on change—choices, decisions, and alternatives that people face in life. Whether working with printmaking or painting, light remains a unifying element in her works.

• Minna Lehto: In sculpture, I am drawn to clear forms and, through them, rich surface textures. I am particularly interested in repurposing or reusing materials—ordinary objects lose their familiarity and can become strange and unsettling.

• Maila Malm has created her works from glass shards. Her art is characterized by simplicity, seriality, and the significance of material and form.

• Mikko Arthur Neirala works with a here and now approach. He seeks a self-image that is not dependent on memory or past events but emerges as subconscious visual expressions.

• Anssi Okkonen’s painting is the final piece in a series of three works on the theme After the Ice Age. A symbolic depiction of the landscape of the soul, it reflects a personal transformation toward the realization of utopia.

• Tuomo Rosenlund’s paintings are portraits of people—large-scale marks, visual excerpts from a diary.

• Pia Salo aims to express the deepest feelings of loneliness and helplessness in her works. She examines the alienation of individuals from their own lives under the pressures and goal-oriented demands of modern efficiency-driven society.

• Katja Skinnari addresses themes that are important to her, usually related to social and ethical injustices.
