Prints by Artists

Kim Somervuori is a Helsinki-based painter whose artworks reference music, graffiti and pop culture. These subjects are often painted side by side and on top of each other, creating multiple layers. He works by painting directly on canvas, without any preliminary sketching. For him, this generates the best flow to directly actualise his ideas.

Shapes of plant-like figures in tightly cropped contexts to awake new meanings, ambiences, and trails of thought.

From vanity, hubris, power grabbing and egotism to round heads, smart shoes and animal suits.

Playful imagery and colorful interventions in the cityscapes.

Zine aesthetics and signs of the times.

State of the art printmaking with subtle shades of color

Defining new forms of expression for physical and abstract spaces.

By varying the three letters of his tag, the artist modifies the classic graffiti calligraphy beyond recognition, and further, constructs his own lifelong travel journal.

Collisions of mechanic and organic shapes, two dimensional three dimensionality, and abstract signs.
