This time I am presenting someone, whose fan I have been for a while. When I was a teenager I used to collect postcards with his paintings and clue them on my door. My mum must have been very happy. Anyway, I still like his paintings and art, though I am not cluieng anything anywhere anymore... So here we go: Kaj Stenvall.
He has done oil paintings since 1989. Basically he is painting a familiar character (could be Donald Duck) in various settings.
"Stenvall is fascinated by the transitional line between the comical and the tragic, and vice versa, and his art’s inherent humor – both absurd and tragic – is quite clearly an essential feature of his approach."
If you happen to be in Finland, more presicely not far away from Helsinki, you can go and see his exhibition at:
Galleria Kaj Stenvall
Bulevardi 5
Helsinki
Tue-Fri 11am-5pm and Sat-Sun 12am-3pm
