Inside the Arts | Atelier Visit: Laura Pehkonen
November 6 @ 17:00 – 18:00
Join us for another exclusive dip into the Helsinki art scene. This time, Inside the Arts visits the atelier of Finnish ceramic and visual artist Laura Pehkonen.
Laura Pehkonen is a ceramicist and visual artist based in Helsinki who graduated with a Master of Arts degree from Aalto University in 2014. In recent years, she has created large-scale public ceramic wall artworks for clients such as the Helsinki Art Museum HAM, Vaasa Hospital, and the Finnish State Art Commission. (Lokal Helsinki)
Pehkonen uses and combines various materials and techniques in her work; currently focusing on ceramic, wood, and painting as mediums. In this special event, we will get the chance to experience the works in-person and hear about Pehkonen’s artistic practice, followed by a chance to ask deepening questions and engage in dialogue with the artist herself.
In addition to ceramics, Pehkonen also works with wood and mixed media paintings in her own studio. Pehkonen’s works are unique abstract sculptures and paintings that leave the interpretation up to the viewer.
Pehkonen’s works can be found in the collections of the Helsinki Art Museum HAM, EMMA Espoo Museum of Modern Art, the State Art Commission / National Gallery, and private collections.
