Minnamari Toukola is a Helsinki based artist born in 1982. She is currently finishing her studies at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in the department of painting. She has had her first solo exhibition this year at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts Gallery and has taken part in a few group exhibitions in Finland. She is a prominent up-and-coming artist and her works deserve wider attention. Toukola's works vary from paintings, to installations and from mixed media collages to textile works with none of the works solely representing a medium but rather stretching and widening their aspect. She joyously makes interruptions and transitions within different mediums. A range of techniques is used from drawing to stitching, weaving, painting and sculpting. She mainly uses found materials or pieces of former objects that have caught her attention to put it more precisely. A piece of colourful string, a chip of a porcelain saucer, fabric or nature made materials such as bits of wood, leaves and sticks will find their specific place in each carefully constructed work of art. It is as if she was putting pieces together to form an on going puzzle that could resemble the life itself. Contemporary art gallery VARTAI organises open reviews of artworks which introduce the latest works of a selected artist and analyse the genre, development, uniqueness and potential of his or her artwork. Through the Thursday reviews, VARTAI gallery aims to collect and publicise the latest news on the works of contemporary artists, provide a more exhaustive introduction of the authors, promote works of acclaimed artists and discover new promising names. Artists wishing to submit their artwork for the reviews should contact the gallery by e mail galerija@galerijavartai.lt. Personal presentations of artworks can be arranged for art collectors any day of the week. Please, arrange your visit in advance by contacting VARTAI gallery on the phone (+370) 5 2122 949 or by e mail galerija@galerijavartai.lt.
