ART

Onni Alanko is a visual artist living and working in Helsinki. He works with painting and drawing. Alanko uses daily perceptions of the cityscape and its architectural forms and structures as tools for paintings. His recent body of work deals with spatial events.
These works give hints, suggests, but do not reveal everything. The viewer must create his own vision of the place.

Onni describes the work done for Post Bar: "The work is a traditional oil painting, that portrays the formation, dissolution and transformation of an unknown space or a place. It is still looking for its shape and form. The space hums with emptiness. The absence of figures leaves room for the viewer to place himself in the space. The painting still has a human touch and presence. The author can be seen in the gestures, mistakes, and clumsiness."
