Key Figures : Maalauksia = Paintings
135: Parvs, 2021. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Key Figures showcases the artistic work of Finnish artist Stig Baumgartner (b. 1969) from 2017 to 2021. Baumgartner’s paintings are rooted in the tradition of geometric color field painting, while also incorporating elements of pop art and conceptual art. The works are abstract in nature but also feature narrative elements. By combining organic lines with architectural compositions, the pieces often evoke everyday experiences, bodily forms, or intricate spatial mazes.
In the book’s essay, Baumgartner reflects on the themes of his works, including the role of visual rules in his artistic process. Other contributors include art historian Juha-Heikki Tihinen and Nina Suni from Galerie Forsblom.
