PERTTI KEKARAINEN
Pertti Kekarainen (1965) is educated at Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki and De Vrije Academie van Beeldenden Kunsten, Den Haag. Kekarainen lives and works in Helsinki, Finland. His media of expression is photography. Kekareinen merges his photographs with local elements of color, which occasionally appear to conform to the space presented in the piece, but is however simultaneously contrary. These features generate tension and a somewhat surreal impression. The works often give an impression of painting, as they possess the ability to create delusions of space and visual uncertainty.
Kekarainen has exhibited at numerous galleries and museums worldwide, amongst others; Art Basel, Switserland, Stenersen Art Museum, (Norway) PAC Milano (Italy) and Pori Art Museum (Finland). His works are included in several significant public collections, such as; Finnish Museum of Photography, State of Sweden, Deutsche Bank (Germany) Gothenburg Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art (Tampere) Museum of Contemporary Art (Helsinki, Finland) and Telenor (Norway).
Pertti Kekarainen has been with Galleri Brandstrup since 2007.
