Offered is a painting by Jussi Taipaleenmäki (1948 Finland) dated 2015
Taipaleenmäki is a Finnish painter, sculptor, and graphic artist living in Sweden. He arrived in Sweden in 1964 at the age of 16 and started working as a machinist in a paper mill. When the machine was running smoothly, he drew and read art history. Eventually, he also began painting.
In 1979, at the age of thirty, he had his first exhibition, which was so successful that he quit his job overnight. Since then, he has been a full-time artist. A long series of exhibitions followed. In 2004, he represented Finland with two paintings at the prestigious "Salon de la Nationale Beaux Arts" exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. His paintings were admired by then-president Jacques Chirac, who opened the exhibition.
Inspired by Dutch troubadour/lyricist Cornelis Vreeswijk (the "nozem" and the "nun"), whom he greatly admires, he also enjoys painting (tragi)comic scenes. In 1994, he paid tribute to Vreeswijk with a traveling exhibition featuring visual interpretations of his lyrics, which received considerable media attention.
He almost always paints only with the colours blue, green and yellow with a little red as an accent, incorporated with various styles.
Taipaleenmäki: "I am at least a surrealist and a cubist."
The predominant "Chagall-esque" blue isn't simply decorative; it represents tranquility, introspection, and infinity. It elevates his work to a spiritual level.
Jusse Taipaleenmäki is represented in several well-known museums and in numerous municipalities and counties in Sweden and the rest of the Nordic countries. These include:
- Amos Andersson's Art Museum Helsinki
- La´ssociation musee d´art contemporain Charmalieres Frankrijk
- Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm,
- National Museum Stockholm
- Skövde art museum
- Östergötlands Museum Linköping
- The Reichstag building Stockholm.
