Artist of the Month – Kalle Lampela

Images of Labor

Korundi Kitchen & Café

In July 2024, Kalle Lampela takes on the mantle of the Association's Artist of the Month. The self-referential drawings depict artistic labor. Their creation was based on movements produced by the body. Kalle Lampela shook his box frames, inside which pieces of charcoal or graphite moved and left marks on the backing board, edges, and glass of the frame.
