Kullervo Koivisto

Kullervo Koivisto made quiet, wintry scenes and metal objects that feel like quiet Finns at rest. His painting Tunturikoivuja shows birches standing stiff in snow, their branches like frozen lace. In Poroja yössä another canvas tracks reindeer moving through dark air, hooves barely touching the ground.

His metalwork Varhaiskevät Vanhassa kaupungissa is a small plaque that turns an early-spring street into a block of silver light. You can step right into those snow-laden birches or touch the cool edge of the plaque, try Tunturikoivuja next.
