his style reminds me a WEE bit o van gogh....esp with his movement and colour in some of his paintings. my fav was this one: Odotus seemed so lonely..... sitting in a chair....all alone in the ice covered room. it's CHILLY. love the snow and ice scenes!! thanks SO MUCH for sharing....i had not heard of him....and i'm glad i know about him now. =0) |

whoa. where did you see his work? he is (was) finnish. i don't a lot about him, but i've seen some of his paintings; very dark & twisted pictures many of them featuring giant penises and the like... the man was seriously depressed most of his life and kept planning to commit suicide. though he never did it, he died suddenly of some disease in his cold wooden house. i'm going to see a Palsa exhibition in helsinki next month and i'm sure it's going to be interesting. 'Odotus' translates to 'The Waiting'... |

Hmm, methinks y'all a bit sophisticated! I like art, but don't find much time for it in my small world of alienation and memories. |

neetta put up a GREAT link on the topic titled Venetian Snares by Bile....i'll copy and paste it on here. thanks for the translation on that painting Kaimo.....and your background on the artist ......it makes sense from his paintings......very cold feeling (not just the ones with the snow and ice) his self portraits are very telling as well! |
