Hyvinkään taiteilijaseura is a work by Markku Lepola, held at Finnish Heritage Agency.
The drawing shows a group of artists standing together, dressed in coats and hats, gathered like a team or club. In the center, one man holds a pipe, and others wear serious expressions, looking like they’re caught in a quiet moment. This sketch records a real local group—the Hyvinkää Artists Society—from the 1968–69 season. It’s not a famous scene, but it honors everyday artists in Finland who met to share work and ideas. The artist, Markku Lepola, focused on simple lines and textures to give each person a distinct feel without color or drama. Look up the technique: cross-hatching, stippling.
Markku Lepola spent years sketching backstage at punk shows, charcoal smudged on his fingers and sleeves.
