TUBULAR TENTACLES January 17 — February 20, 2014

CURATOR Suvi Lehtinen (FIN)

ARTIST Jussi Jääskeläinen (FIN)

Berlin based Jussi Jääskeläinen works as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator for various well-known magazines, publishing houses and record labels in the European art scene – but his real love lies in the passion to create contemporary pop art. It´s too simple to say: Jussi Jääskeläinen brings the free-flowing feeling into his pieces from the influence of underground clubnights in his beloved home city and intensive (one might say even meditative) jazz listening sessions. One cannot specify whence he brings the energy and enthusiasm into his art. The techniques and the symbolism in his new works shows the progression of the talented artist, and his devoted passion to find the most obscure jazz recordings in the world and translate these into his visual ambitions.
