Finnish design is often thought to be strictly functional and simple, even rather serious. Paradise tells a story of sprawling, colourful and even humorous ceramic art. In this exhibition, the old ceramics masters, from Juselius to Kaipiainen, meet some of the most interesting contemporary ceramics artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the exhibition, we have borrowed absolute classics of ceramic art from Collection Kakkonen, the world’s largest collection of Finnish glass and ceramic art. Birger Kaipiainen<\/strong>, who had a long career at the Arabia factory, positions his works between ceramics, painting and sculpture with an ornate palette. Elin Juselius’<\/strong> work is influenced by Eastern European folk ceramics, art deco and classicism. The multi-dimensional Tyra Lundgren’s<\/strong> floridly light works exude airiness. Michael Schilkin<\/strong> and Taisto Kaasinen’s<\/strong> animal figures are full of gentle stylization and humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, ceramic works existed in a liminal space between utility and art, but since then ceramics have taken their own strong position in art. Marianne Huotari,<\/strong> Ninni Luhtasaari, Pekka Paikkari<\/strong> and Armi Teva<\/strong> have been invited to Paratiisi for an independent dialogue with the older masters. They all represent a richer branch of contemporary ceramic art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internationally renowned Marianne Huotari\u2019s<\/strong> roots in textile arts are visible in her ceramic works. Ninni Luhtasaari<\/strong> and Armi Teva<\/strong> play with materials and art. Pekka Paikkari\u2019s<\/strong> works combine massiveness and sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
