| EXHIBITION |
| Kristian Krokfors 14 February - 3 March Private View: Wednesday 13 February, 6 - 8pm Kristian Krokfors (b 1952) was born in Finland. From 1973-74 he studied Art at the University of Industrial Arts in Helsinki before moving to England in 1974 to study at Leicester Polytechnic, where he received his BA in 1977. From 1977-78 he completed the Advanced Printmaking Course at Croydon College of Art before returning to Helsinki, where he currently lives and works. In 1985 he was named Finland’s Young Artist of the Year, a prestigious national event organised by the City of Tampere and the Tampere Art Museum. From 1988-90 he spent two years living and working in New York City. In 2001 he returned as artist-in-residence under the auspices of the Finnish Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Cultural Institute for Finland in the USA. His graphic landscapes are ordered and serene, the light and shadow defined, the shapes clean and sharp. He has worked in Andalucía and both this memory and also his childhood home of south west Finland may have played some part in these stylised landscapes, while the pared down symbols of houses and trees lend anonymity to the places he depicts. |
