LIST OF WORKS
Lost in the Studio is the fifth in a series of paintings in the Studio, in which painter Riikka Lenkkeri depicts the artist’s work and her own studio. The exhibition is a gentle tribute to the difficulty of painting and the work of a painter.
The exhibition takes the viewer inside the painter’s head. Of particular interest is everything that remains hidden beneath the surface of the finished work – side paths, dead ends and fumbling attempts. Sometimes the painting is completed in a circuitous route, and even for the artist, painting seems like a journey without a clear destination. Versioning enlivens a work already conceived and takes it in a new direction, sometimes to the edge of an abyss or into the abyss. Painting over the top is often a necessary means of moving forward, sometimes simply destroying the work and starting again, or burying the whole idea and moving on to the next.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Riikka Lenkkeri lives and works in Mänttä. She graduated from L’Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti in Genoa in 1995. Lenkkeri’s work reflects her knowledge of European painting. He is particularly known for his large-scale realistic portraits, in which strong brushwork and rich colouring emphasise the physicality and presence of the subjects. Lenkker has a 30-year career as an artist and his works can be found in several public and private collections, including the collections of the Tampere Art Museum and the Serlachius Foundation.
The Kimmo Kaivanto Foundation has supported the completion of the painting Sleeping Self-Portrait, acrylic and oil on canvas, 200 x 130 cm 2025
