Kimmo Pyykkö : Veistoksia = Sculptures
11: Galleria Heino, 2011. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Text in Finnish and English. Publication for an exhibition held at Galleria Heino, Helsinki, in 5.5.-29.5.2011. Contains quality full-page photographs of the works. The sculptor Kimmo Pyykkö's exhibition featured his new bronze sculptures - which bring out the spirit of his famous aluminum works from the 1970s - as well as sculptures made of alder wood and wall reliefs. The bronze sculptures of Pyykkö are still lifes. They contain objects and animals such as ravens, hawks, small birds and butterflies. He uses a lot of recycled material, such as old chairs, beds, shoes, gloves, brushes, musical instruments and bags. Pyykkö's sculptures are carefully constructed entities, the sums of their symbolic parts, in which the parts refer to each other. The old items used already contain memories in themselves; they have traces of people. Pyykkö gives these items a new spirit. When they are cast in bronze and the works get a uniform patina, the temporal seems to become timeless, the substance intangible and the present here a thing of the past. *** Some noticeable scratches to the surface of the spine, otherwise in very nice condition. 175 pp. Very Good.
