Painter
Member of the East-Helsinki Art Society, The Finnish Painters'
Union , and The
Artists'
Association
of
Finland.
An autodidact painter, I have been exhibiting my art since 1983,
mainly
in Finland, but also in Vienna, Geneva, Tokyo, Barcelona, New York,
Spoleto (Italy), and Padova.
I have often assembled collages from own material, such as acrylics on
paper or glass fiber canvas.
Then the composition is a two-step process. My motives are generally
abstract, although various forms may remind the spectator of real
objects.
I choose quite neutral titles so as not to hinder the free fantasy of
the
spectator. Occasionally my motives are inspired by my science; more
often the titles allude to science even if the motive does not. The
background to this homepage uses repetitively a 1997
painting
which is not a collage. I often sign
my paintings
with two Chinese seals, one being a phonetic transcription of "Matts"
in Chinese, the other being my monogram MR. Some recent paintings can
be seen on the thumbnails below, or by clicking on the titles.
Some recent art shows:
Galleria BE'19, Helsinki, March 1997.
Euroart'97
in
Barcelona,
September 26-28, 1997..
Galleria Poli d'Arte, Spoleto (PG), Italy, in September
1999 and in
November 1999.(with Tania
Schifano)
ARTe PADOVA'99, Padova, October 1999 (with Tania Schifano).
Invited by The
Finnish Painters' Union to the Cultural Year 2000 show (with
Antero Kare and Antero Toikka), Helsinki,
April-May 2000.
Galleria Leonardo, Tampere, February 2002.
Galleria Dix, Helsinki, July-August 2004.
Galleria Hopeinen Sivellin, Helsinki, February-March 2008.
Collective shows with the East-Helsinki Art Society (yearly since
1984) and The
Finnish Painters'
Union (yearly since 1993).
Individual shows also at
The University of Vienna 1983
Brookhaven National Laboratory (Long Island) 1994
