Sindaco Valter Orsi Comune di Schio

Ho il piacere di darvi il benvenuto a Schio alla biennale internazionale Di carta / Papermade, giunta quest’anno alla quarta edizione.

E’ per la nostra Città motivo di orgoglio sostenere l’esposizione, farne una tradizione, nella consapevolezza che la tenacia e la capacità di progettare sul lungo periodo sono un vanto della nostra terra, nell’industria come nella cultura.

In tempi in cui la transitorietà sembra vanificare tutti gli sforzi e le mode nascono e tramontano ad un ritmo frenetico, vogliamo offrire al pubblico un progetto che diventa sempre più articolato e ricco di stimoli. Infatti la formula dell’esposizione si mantiene, ma si arricchisce via via di nuovi appuntamenti e attività che la mettono sempre più in connessione con la vita cittadina da un lato e il mondo dell’arte internazionale dall’altro, con l’obiettivo di essere un punto di partenza e di confronto per le persone e gli artisti che vengono a visitarla.

Il tema della mostra Le cose non necessarie fanno bello il mondo, ci invita ad andare oltre lo sguardo utilitaristico e ci suggerisce come invece la bellezza sia necessaria e direi modifichi il mondo. La carta, materiale povero e spesso usato in maniera prosaica ed effimera nel nostro quotidiano, nella biennale viene invece mutata in ‘cosa bella’ dagli artisti che la manipolano e la trasformano con gli svariati modi che sono loro peculiari: ammiriamo queste trasfigurazioni che sono il frutto di percorsi personali come della cultura di provenienza, di sperimentazione tecnica, non meno che di tradizione.

Rivolgo un saluto particolare a Raul Meel, autore della citazione che ha ispirato il tema della biennale e a Ulla Rantanen, ospite d’onore di questa edizione e a tutti gli artisti della Finlandia a cui quest’anno è dedicata una sezione speciale. Siamo compiaciuti di poter aprire una finestra sull’arte di questo Paese che sappiamo attento alla cultura, e di cui siamo curiosi di scoprire le eccellenze artistiche, vi invitiamo quindi a varcare la soglia di palazzo Fogazzaro ed esplorare la mostra insieme a noi.

Le cose non necessarie fanno bello il mondo

Il titolo della quarta edizione della biennale Di Carta è un invito alla riflessione sul ruolo della bellezza nella vita umana e insieme un omaggio a Raul Meel in occasione dell’inaugurazione dell’archivio Meel di Palazzo Fogazzaro a Schio.

Lo spunto, infatti, lo abbiamo tratto dalla sua autobiografia d’artista Osservando le nuvole erranti (2011-2013): “sono le cose non necessarie che fanno bello il mondo”.

Meel lo annota in margine all’ascolto dei canti degli uccelli. Una “proliferazione di melodie sorprendenti, bellezza ed esagerazione!”.

Affascinatone, ha pensato di trasferire in voce umana quella degli alati, unendo allo stupore la precisione, consultando ornitologi e manuali, attingendo alla propria esperienza, riempiendo i vuoti con l’estro poetico, giocando a produrre suoni come Chlebnikov, il poeta-fanciullo, e cantando al posto di quelle che Leopardi definiva “le più liete creature del mondo”.

Quanto spreco di tempo! Ma non è forse vero che il flâneur può cogliere dettagli ed evanescenze che chi punta dritto a una (presunta) meta misconosce?

Si dice che la bellezza sia la fede dell’artista (e per l’uomo di fede ciò che conta non è ciò che è considerato necessario dagli altri: “Guardate gli uccelli del cielo: non seminano, né mietono, né ammassano nei granai; eppure il Padre vostro celeste li nutre”). Ma l’arte, che spesso non dat panem a chi la coltiva, ha davvero ancora a che fare col bello? Ci mostra dove trovarlo? Ce lo fa esperire?

Che rapporto c’è tra bellezza e necessità?

In un mondo governato dalle ferree leggi dei bilanci, idolatra del profitto e della produttività, soverchiato da esigenze materiali, è sulla gratuità, sulla leggerezza, sul tempo perso anziché speso, sull’inutilità ludica del bello che abbiamo voluto porre la nostra attenzione, invitando gli artisti ospiti a declinare la sregolata legge dell’inutile in opere e figurate riflessioni e a cantare con i segni e la carta la futile necessità della bellezza per i cittadini del XXI secolo.

Da come questi hanno risposto, interpretato lo spunto, filtrandolo attraverso poetiche e prospettive, emerge tanto la varietà delle scelte quanto la trasversalità di relazioni nel villaggio globale degli artisti in cui, al di là di pur riconoscibili specificità geostoriche culturali e sociali, i semi delle influenze, dei linguaggi, delle teorizzazioni, dei timori e delle sfide condivise si spargono e ricadono facilmente in ogni zolla nazionale.

Qui si tratterà solo di riconoscere e suggerire in breve i principali percorsi operativi e concettuali tracciati dagli artisti, a partire dall’ampio spunto tematico. Non senza aver prima ricordato che un’attenzione particolare si posa sulla Finlandia, il paese ospite di questa edizione (grazie alla co-curatela di Seppo Salmi), e che, come da tradizione, la biennale accoglie per lo più opere grafiche, con la consueta apertura nei confronti di tutte le tecniche (per cui la stampa digitale e tecniche miste e sperimentali trovano spazio accanto alle tecniche di lunga e nobile tradizione, xilografiche e calcografiche, alcune peraltro, se ne avvedrà immediatamente l’osservatore, espresse in straordinari tour de force esecutivi). Il trait d’union è il medium cartaceo, non la tecnica, e per questo, in linea con la qualificazione “Di Carta”, installazioni, origami, libri d’artista, sculture, dipinti su o (principalmente) di carta si rapportano e ‘dialogano’ con le stampe nelle sale di Palazzo Fogazzaro.

Attraversando queste sale il visitatore flâneur potrebbe via via riconoscere una serie di scelte, di posizioni, come nella topica classica dell’aristos bios (quale sia la vita migliore), personali e variegate declinazioni del rapporto tra inutilità e bellezza. C’è chi ha messo in luce un aspetto della bellezza, chi un altro, chi un altro ancora, così che l’insieme delinea una lista di opzioni, un ventaglio di direzioni. Ciascuno ha imboccato la strada ritenuta migliore per parlarci di bellezza e futilità. Parecchie scelte si apparentano e sono iscrivibili idealmente nello stesso gruppo.

Ecco allora una lista possibile di percorsi anche intrecciantisi.

Chi ha tratto la propria ‘opera bella’ da materiali ‘inutili’ (leggasi riciclati); chi ha fatto opere riottose a ogni lettura, che nulla sembrano voler dire, ma soltanto mostrarsi nella loro euforica o ambigua gratuita bellezza; chi ha posto l’accento sul fare paziente e meditato (quasi rituale) che scandisce i passaggi della creazione lasciando tracce effimere; chi la bellezza la cerca nelle piccole cose (letteralmente proponendoci opere in formato minimo o ingigantendo le geometrie dei piccoli strumenti di lavoro come un dado, una vite), nella leggerezza (nei paraggi il motivo del volo), nelle proporzioni, ricordandoci, con Baudrillard, che dietro ogni oggetto reale c’è un oggetto sognato; chi smaschera l’artificio patinato e degradante e chi l’artificio interroga (con l’umanoide che ci imbroglia sulla percezione dell’umano e del naturale); chi trova la sorgente della bellezza nella natura (a partire dalla finlandese Ulla Rantanen, a cui viene assegnato il premio alla carriera), ma

per lo più rivisitandola, decostruendola e ricomponendola, trasfigurandola dunque per via artificiale/culturale, cogliendone le linee di forza, le ferite, le interferenze antropiche, con uno sguardo in bilico tra dettaglio e campo lungo; chi coglie, della bellezza, l’intima femminilità (creatrice, accogliente, combattiva…) e chi l’altra faccia della libertà; chi la contempla nell’equilibrio di spazi domestici (interni o esterni) e chi nella perpetua trasformazione delle forme; chi nell’esuberanza (decorativa, carnale, rituale…) e chi nell’essenzialità (nella forma dell’espressione come in quella del contenuto); chi la sperimenta nella (apparente) futilità del gioco (e nella parodia, anche dell’arte stessa) o nella gratuità del dono; chi indugia a ravvisarla nelle rovine (quasi capricci post-storici o distopici), o nel frammento; chi ci suggerisce che il (ritenuto) brutto potrebbe sollecitare un’inconsueta più comprensiva idea di bellezza, se solo fossimo disposti a staccarci da prospettive e giudizi inveterati; chi ci ricorda che il bello neppure si dà senza un risvolto d’ombra, come una composizione di palloncini colorati che gli amici del defunto liberano in cielo.

E guardate quanto nero c’è nella bellezza: lieve nero calligrafico, nero di sporco e polveri inquinanti, nero che respinge e attrae di grovigli di spazio-tempo ‘trattati’ dall’inconscio, bile nerolucente della malinconia (temperamento dei creativi, citazione düreriana)… fino al nero su nero che accende la notte nello sguardo interiore.

Ma si tratta evidentemente solo di un abbozzo divertito. Il visitatore potrà imbastire la propria lista e soprattutto, proprio come nel topos della vita migliore, interloquire coi manufatti artistici e prendere posizione.

Stimolati, sfidati, urtati o sedotti da tante forme, tocca a noi collocarci, accanto a qualcuna in particolare, o di fronte, o in un cantuccio personale, lo sguardo ora pronto a riconoscere quello che già prima c’era non vedeva.

Due anni fa, in un caffè vicentino, incontrai un giovane di nome Sergio, all’epoca studente alla facoltà di Beni culturali presso l’Università di Bologna. Con lui mi sarei potuto vantare di sapere che l’università conta oltre nove secoli di storia e che tra i suoi celebri studenti vi sono state personalità del calibro di Dante, Petrarca e Tasso. Alla fine trovai il coraggio di chiedere a Sergio che cosa sapesse della Finlandia. “È un paese dove la natura è incontaminata, ricco di laghi e fiumi e dove si respira aria pulita”, questo fu il suo elenco. In un primo momento, Sergio non riuscì a ricordare alcuna personalità o marchio finlandese, ma con un po’ di aiuto si ricordò di Sibelius, il compositore, Aalto, l’architetto, e di una nota azienda di cellulari (Nokia!). Per contro, il mio nuovo amico conosceva ben poco dell’arte finlandese. Le prime forme d’arte conservatesi in Finlandia sono relative all’arte sacra medievale, influenzata perlopiù dalla chiesa romana, sebbene alcuni dei suoi elementi rievochino chiaramente la tradizione bizantina. I primi ritratti finlandesi risalgono alla metà del XVII secolo. All’inizio del XIX secolo, con l’avvento del nazionalismo in Europa e la nascita di identità nazionali ben distinte – periodo durante il quale i “landscape” (paesaggi fisici) erano spesso sfruttati per rappresentare i “mindscape” (paesaggi della psiche) tipici di una nazione – i pittori, gli scrittori e i compositori finlandesi iniziarono tutti a ricercare i paesaggi nazionali in luoghi remoti e incontaminati come la Carelia e la Lapponia.

La Finlandia ha istituito l'educazione artistica dal 1707, tuttavia già da molto prima e anche in seguito, gli artisti finlandesi hanno viaggiato per il mondo con lo scopo di osservare ed imparare. Nel XIX secolo, Stoccolma, Düsseldorf e più tardi la Francia erano i luoghi dell’arte per eccellenza. Dalla fin de siècle, l’École de Paris ha esercitato una notevole influenza sull’arte visiva finlandese.

Agli occhi degli italiani, la Finlandia probabilmente risulta un’isola lontana abitata da gente che parla una strana lingua. Convenzionalmente, la Finlandia viene associata alle foreste, al poema epico Kalevala, alla corsa su lunga distanza e alla vicinanza all’Unione Sovietica. Di recente, l’Unione europea, la società dell’informazione, il nostro sistema scolastico e sanitario e il record nelle classifiche di felicità hanno influito sulla nostra reputazione.

Nonostante tutto ciò, la nostra cultura rimane perlopiù sconosciuta, persino agli studenti d’arte come Sergio. In ambito musicale, la Finlandia ha dato i natali ad alcuni direttori d’orchestra, cantanti d’opera nonché gruppi heavy metal che si sono esibiti sui principali palchi italiani. Le nostre opere letterarie sono oggi tradotte in numerose lingue, anche se raramente in italiano. I cinefili più accaniti potrebbero aver visto i lavori del regista Aki Kaurismäki, ma per il resto la Finlandia riveste solo un piccolo ruolo nel panorama del cinema mondiale. E per quanto riguarda le arti visive classiche? Vi sfido a nominare tre artisti finlandesi viventi!

La mia speranza è che la IV edizione della Biennale Internazionale Di Carta/ Papermade a Schio ampli e renda più articolata l'idea dell’arte finlandese in Italia. I quindici artisti presenti nell'ambito dell’evento hanno età e percorsi diversi così come sono diverse le tecniche utilizzate, ma tutti indistintamente hanno raggiunto fama internazionale. L’arte finlandese viene oggi esportata in tutto il mondo, consentendo ai nostri artisti di relazionarsi con numerosi colleghi ed istituti stranieri, anche italiani. Molti artisti esposti in questa sede hanno, ad esempio, studiato presso scuole d’arte italiane, accompagnato i propri studenti in gite scolastiche presso musei d'arte locali e insegnato in laboratori d’arte, nonché organizzato mostre da Roma a Venezia.

Roma sarà sicuramente la culla della cultura, ma anche i figli dell’Ultima Thule stanno facendo un buon lavoro.

The Major Valter Orsi Municipality of Schio

I have the pleasure of welcoming you to the International Biennial Di Carta / Papermade in Schio, now in its fourth edition.

Supporting the exhibition, making it a tradition, is a source of great satisfaction for our city, as our region prides itself in its determination and long-term planning, both in industry and in culture.

In times where transience reins and trends yo-yo in and out of fashion, we would like to present the public with a project which is becoming increasingly structured and rich in stimuli. In fact, whilst the essence of the Biennial remains, the addition of new events and activities enriches the exhibition, forming stronger connections to the city life, on the one hand, and the world of international art on the other, with the aim of sparking interest and engagement in the individuals and artists who come to visit.

The exhibition is based around The unnecessary things which make the world beautiful. Against this backdrop, visitors are invited to go above and beyond a purely utilitarian approach and consider how beauty may actually be necessary and even change the world. Paper is a poor material, often put to fleeting and rather unimaginative use in our daily lives. At the Biennial, however, artists transform it into a ‘thing of beauty’, manipulating and remodelling it in their own unique ways: we can admire these transformations, products of individual life paths, native cultures, technical experimentation and tradition.

I would like to give a special mention to Raul Meel, author of the quote that ispirated the biennal theme and Ulla Rantanen, the guest of honour for this edition, as well as to all the artists from Finland who have their own special section this year. We are pleased to provide an insight into this country’s art, a country which we know to be attentive to culture, and we are curious to discover their artistic excellence. And so we invite you into Palazzo Fogazzaro to explore the exhibition together.

Unnecessary things make the world beautiful

The title of the fourth edition of the Di Carta/Papermade biennial exhibition is an invite to reflect on the role that beauty plays in human life. It is also a homage to Raul Meel to mark the inauguration of the Meel archive in Palazzo Fogazzaro in Schio.

Our inspiration came from his artist’s autobiography entitled Observing the Wandering Clouds (2011-2013): “It is the unnecessary things which make the world beautiful”.

Meel made these notes in the margin as he listened to birdsong. A “proliferation of surprising melodies, beauty and exaggeration!”.

He was so taken with the sound that he sought to turn the birdsong sinto human voice, teaming his amazement with precision, consulting ornithologists and handbooks, drawing on his own experience, filling the voids with poetic talent, playing around with the production of sounds like Khlebnikov, the young poet, and singing in the place of what Leopardi described as “the most joyful creatures in the world”.

How much time wasted! Is it not the case that a flâneur is able to grasp the details and evanescences unknown to those who aim straight for (what is presumed to be) the target?

They say beauty is the artist’s faith (and for the faithful, what counts is not what others consider necessary: “Look at the birds in the sky, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them”). But is art - from which those who cultivate it often fail to make a living – still related to beauty? Does it show us where to find it? Does it allow us to experience it?

What is the relationship between beauty and necessity?

In a world governed by the iron laws of finance, in a world that worships profit and productivity and is subservient to material requirements, we seek to focus our attention on gratuitousness, lightness, time wasted rather than spent, on the playful uselessness of beauty, by inviting the guest artists to interpret the disorderly law of uselessness in their works and creative reflections, using signs and paper as a hymn to the futile necessity of beauty for the citizens of the 21st century.

12

By looking at how these artists have replied and interpreted this point of inspiration, filtering it through poetics and perspectives, we are able to discover the variety of their choices as much as the cross-disciplinary nature of the connections within the global village of artists wherein, beyond geohistorical, cultural and social specificities which are admittedly possible to recognise, the seeds of influences, languages, theories, concerns and shared challenges are scattered and can easily start to bud in any nation.

It will simply be a matter of recognising and suggesting, in short, the main functional and conceptual pathways taken by the artists, starting from a theme which can be interpreted in many different ways. But not before having first remembered that Finland is the guest country of honour for this edition (thanks to the co-curator Seppo Salmi), and that, in line with tradition, the biennial is mainly playing host to graphic works of art, welcoming, as is customary, all different kinds of techniques (digital printing and mixed, experimental methods stand side by side with techniques which have long played their part in distinguished tradition - woodcut and chalcography, some which will immediately strike the observer, resulting in an extraordinary and executive tour de force). The trait d’union is not technique, but the medium of paper, and for this reason, in line with the title of the biennial, installations, origami, artists’ books, sculptures, paintings on or (mainly) of paper form connections and interact with the prints in the rooms of the Palazzo Fogazzaro.

As they saunter through these rooms, the visiting flâneurs will, little by little, be able to recognise a series of choices and stances, just like in classic aristos bios (the best life), personal and varied perceptions of the relationship between beauty and uselessness. There are those who have shed light on one aspect of beauty, whilst others have shed light on a different aspect, and others on a different aspect again. In this way, the whole is made up of a list of options, a multitude of directions. Every single artist has trodden the path they deemed the best to express their ideas of beauty and futility. Many of their choices relate and are, ideally, included in the same group.

And so a potential list of pathways emerges, pathways which may also be intertwined.

Artists who have created their very own ‘beautiful work of art’ from ‘useless’ materials (otherwise known as recycled); Artists who have made works of art which are rebellious in every interpretation, which would seem to say nothing, but which show their true nature exclusively through their euphoric, or ambiguous, gratuitous beauty; Artists who have placed emphasis on patience and consideration (in an almost ritualistic manner), marking the creative transfer and leaving fleeting traces; artists who search for beauty in the small things (either by literally creating tiny works of art, or by enlarging the proportions of small working tools such as a die or screw), in lightness (the reason for flying), in proportions, recalling, with Baudrillard, that behind every reallife object, there is also an object that has been dreamt up; artists who unmask degrading, hidden trickery and who question this trickery (with the

humanoid who confuses the perception of humanity and nature); Artists who find the source of beauty in nature (starting with the Finnish artist Ulla Rantanen, recipient of the achievement award), but mainly revisiting it, deconstructing it and putting it back together, and, as such, transforming it artificially and culturally, capturing the leading lines, the scars and the anthropogenic interference, with a view poised between detailed and wideranging; artists who extract an intimate femininity from beauty (creative, welcoming, combative...), finding the other face of freedom; artists who contemplate beauty in the harmony of living spaces (interior or exterior) and does so in the perpetual transformation of forms; artists who explore beauty in exuberance (decorative, erotic, ritualistic...) or in the bare essentials (in forms of expression as in content); artists who experiment with beauty in the context of the (apparent) futility of games (and in the context of mockery, including of art itself), or in the context of gratuitousness; artists who hesitate to acknowledge beauty in ruin (almost post-historical or dystopic impulses) or in fragments; artists who suggest that the ugly (or that which is regarded as ugly) may solicit an unconventional idea of beauty which is more overarching, if only we were willing to detach ourselves from those deep-rooted outlooks and judgements; artists who remind us that beauty doesn’t exist without shadow, like a composition of colourful balloons which friends of the deceased release into the sky.

And just look at how much darkness there is within beauty: the faint darkness of calligraphy, the darkness of dirt and pollutants, darkness which repels and attracts the entanglement of space and time explored by the subconscious, the dark and gleaming bile of melancholy (temperament of the creative, the Dürerian concept)...all the way to the darkness upon darkness which triggers night to descend on our inner eye.

But, evidently, it is simply a matter of a playing around. Visitors may sketch out their own list and, above all, just like in the best life, get involved with artistic pieces and take a stance.

Stimulated, challenged, struck or charmed by the many different forms, it’s our turn to position ourselves, alongside one in particular, or facing it, or in a personal space; our mind is now ready to acknowledge that which it didn’t see before.

Two years ago, in a Vicenzan café, I met a youth named Sergio. He was an Arts and Culture student at the University of Bologna. I might have bragged to him about knowing the university had a 900-year-old history and alumni like Dante, Petrarch, and Tasso. Eventually, I found the courage to ask Sergio what he knew about Finland. “Your country has unspoiled nature, lakes and rivers, and clean air,” he listed. At first, Sergio could not remember any Finnish people or brands, but with a little help he was able to recall Sibelius the composer, Aalto the architect and a now-infamous mobile phone company (yes, Nokia). My new friend did not know much about Finnish art, though.

The earliest surviving art in Finland is medieval church art mainly influenced by the Roman church, although some of its elements point clearly to a basis in Byzantine traditions. The oldest Finnish portraits date to the midseventeenth century. In the beginning of the 19th century, as Europe saw the rise of nationalism and the building of clear-cut national identities – a process in which landscapes were often harnessed to present a nation’s typical mindscapes – Finnish painters, writers and composers alike searched for national landscapes in remote, pristine places like Karelia and Lapland.

Finland has provided art education since 1707. Long before and after this, however, Finnish artists have travelled across the world to observe and learn. In the 19th century, the places to be were Stockholm, Düsseldorf and, later on, France. Since the fin de siècle, the School of Paris has had a significant influence on Finnish visual art.

To Italians, Finland is perhaps like a distant island inhabited by people who speak a strange tongue. Traditionally, Finland’s image has been shaped by forests, the Kalevala, long-distance running, and our neighborhood with the Soviet Union. Recently, our reputation has been influenced by the EU, the information society, Finland’s education and healthcare system, and our top happiness scores.

Despite this, our culture is largely unknown even to students of art like Sergio. In the realm of music, Finland has produced a few conductors, opera singers and heavy metal bands that have performed at leading Italian stages. Our literature is nowadays widely translated into many languages, but rarely into Italian. Film freaks may have seen works by Aki Kaurismäki, but otherwise Finland shows small on the world map of cinema. And how about classical visual art? Name three living Finnish artists!

I hope that the 4th edition of Di Carta / Papermade International Biennale in Schio will expand and diversify the image of Finnish art in Italy. The fifteen artists presented are of various ages and backgrounds and work with different techniques, but all of them are internationally acclaimed.

Finnish art is currently being exported across the globe, which affords our artists plenty of connections with foreign colleagues and institutions – Italian ones, as well. For instance, many of the artists showcased here have studied at Italian art schools, brought their students on field trips to local art museums and taught at art camps, and organised exhibitions from Rome to Venice.

Rome may well be the cradle of culture, but the children of Ultima Thule are doing well, too.

Ulla Rantanen Finlandia L’esperienza della natura

Sono nata e cresciuta in campagna, ecco perché i miei primi ricordi sono spesso legati all’ambiente naturale o a situazioni nelle quali è comunque la natura stessa a creare la propria atmosfera. Come per molte altre persone, gli anni della mia infanzia sono stati fortemente caratterizzati dal susseguirsi delle stagioni.

Associo le estati alle distese di fragoline di bosco e alle nuvole che fluttuano in cielo.

Ho dovuto trascorrere molto tempo senza la compagnia di miei coetanei e ciò forse ha influenzato il mio modo di vedere gli alberi, le piante, gli animali e di fatto l’intera natura che, ai miei occhi, sono diventati oggetto di inesauribile ricerca. Non sono in grado di ricordare se allora sperimentassi la bellezza in modo consapevole, probabilmente no. Non avevo motivo di soffermarmi a considerare se una cosa fosse bella o brutta, buona o cattiva, ero io stessa parte della natura, della sua crescita e del suo divenire.

Oggi ho l’impressione che la crisi personale che ho attraversato abbia suscitato in me una sorta di regressione, un ritorno all’universo esperienziale dei miei primi anni, la natura appunto. Provo la gioia della riscoperta e guardo alla natura come ad un’area dell’esperienza intellettiva con cui ho un rapporto emozionale molto intimo ed autentico. Forse alcuni definirebbero questo tipo di fenomeno un’alienazione, una fuga dai problemi che caratterizzano le relazioni umane e da un mondo che percepisco come caotico.

Quando cerco di descrivere a parole come le mie esperienze della natura e il suo valore siano alla base delle mie opere, noto solitamente che le espressioni che uso sono spesso ripetitive e suonano banali. Le esperienze della natura sono riconducibili sia ad un piano individuale che generale. Per me entrare in contatto con la natura è sempre ed innanzitutto un’esperienza potente e costante di bellezza. Questo dice già tutto, non c’è bisogno di aggiungere altro.

Per essere in grado di cimentarmi con i significati dell’ispirazione, devo limitarla ad una condizione realizzabile, in modo tale che la mia mente possa comprenderla.

Questa limitazione è data spesso dalla totalità o dai dettagli della natura, nei quali si possono osservare le tracce di eventi anche violenti, frutto del suo stesso divenire oppure dell’interferenza distruttiva dell’uomo.

Un’ispirazione di questo tipo può essere, ad esempio, una cava di ghiaia che si palesa all’improvviso in mezzo ad una foresta o una fossa di sabbia inaspettata lungo le cui pareti pendono le radici di un grande albero. Mi colpiscono anche le rocce divise da strade o le radure artificiali all’interno di un bosco, create con il taglio degli alberi o la posa di linee elettriche.

Probabilmente l’esperienza estetica che vivo quando osservo un paesaggio tranquillo ed idilliaco o un fiore dai colori delicati non basta per la ricerca della forma di ciò che desidero trasmettere con le mie opere. È difficile da spiegare. Credo di ricercare la stratificazione e le dimensioni che sento di rinvenire nella vita stessa. Forse ciò significa ricercare la verità. Cerco ispirazioni che, oltre ad esprimere qualcosa di concreto, trasmettano anche concetti generali. Poiché solitamente nulla è inequivocabile, nella mia espressione visiva devo fare ricorso al linguaggio simbolico, la cui forma visibile deve poter essere riconosciuta da tutti. Questo linguaggio deve essermi familiare ed è nella natura che lo trovo. È lì che riesco a trovare ciò che sento vicino, in maniera incondizionata, vera. Trovo che il paesaggio finnico sia un paesaggio intimo: nasconde i suoi sentimenti, ma sotto la superficie c’è una vita in forte movimento, un mondo di eventi eccezionali. È lì che posso trovare un esatto equivalente non solo della mia natura, ma anche di quella di ogni essere umano: speranza, solitudine, bellezza, morte.

Pertanto, quando utilizzo le mie osservazioni della natura come base del mio lavoro artistico, non posso avere come obiettivo principale quello di trasmettere una percezione oggettiva; al contrario, do vita a quelle sensazioni soggettive di cui probabilmente non sono nemmeno consapevole. La stessa arte visiva è una delle forme di comunicazione tra le persone, di cui abbiamo bisogno per capire meglio noi stessi e gli altri.

A volte, quando sento che imparare a vivere significa soprattutto imparare la capacità di abbandonare le cose, penso che perlomeno non devo separarmi dalla natura e dal talento di osservarla. Tuttavia sono consapevole che già nel corso della mia vita, la flora e la fauna del pianeta si sono ridotte notevolmente a causa dello sfruttamento irrispettoso dell’uomo.

On experiencing nature

I was born and grew up in the country. This is why the first recollections of my life are often connected with natural surroundings or situations where nature in one way or another creates its own atmosphere. Like many others, my childhood years contain vivid experience of the changing of the seasons, summers associates with wild strawberry patches and the clouds floating by.

I had to spend a lot of time without companions of my own age. This perhaps has had an influence in the way that trees, plants, animals, indeed nature as whole became for me an inexhaustible object of research.

I cannot recall whether these experiences included conscious experiences of beauty. Probably not. There was no reason to take a stand on whether something was beautiful or ugly, good or bad - I was myself part of nature, its growing and changing.

Nowadays it appears to me that the personal crisis I’ve experienced has created a type of regression in me, a return to the experiential world of earliest years: nature. I feel the joy of rediscovery and look upon nature as an area of intellectual experience with which I have a very private and undistorted emotional relationship.

Perhaps somebody would define this kind of phenomena as alienation, an escape from the problems of human relationships and a world I feel is chaotic.

When I try and describe with words how my experiences of nature and its significance are the basis of my work, I usually notice that I come across expressions that are often repeated and appear banal. Experiences of nature are both individual and general. For me experiencing nature is always and primarily a continuous and powerful experience of beauty. This says it all, there is no need for further explanations.

To be able to get grips with the means of expressing motif I have to restrict it to a realizable state so that my mind can comprehend it.

This restriction is often the totality or the details of nature in which one can see traces of some violent event, either caused by its own process or man’s destructive interference. Such a motif can be, for example, a gravel pit suddenly appearing in the middle of a forest or an unexpected walls sand pit on whose hang roots of big tree. I also notice rocks split by roads and artificial clearings in the forest created by felling or laying of power lines.

The aesthetic experience I have when I observe an idyllic, peaceful landscape or a flower with fine colors, is probably not sufficient when searching for form for what I want to convey in my works. This is difficult to explain. I think I look for such stratification and dimensions which I feel are found in life itself. Perhaps it means looking for truth. I look for motifs which besides expressing something concrete would also say something general. As nothing is usually unambiguous, I have to resort to symbolic language in my visual expression, the visible form of which is for everyone to recognize. This language has to be familiar to me and I find it in nature. There I can find what is close to me - unreservedly, truly. My experience of the Finnish landscape is that it is intimate, it hides its feelings, yet underneath the surface there is strong movement life, a world of dramatic happenings. There I can find an exact equivalent to my and every human’s nature: hope, solitude, beauty, death.

Thus, when I use my observations of nature as the basis of my artistic work I cannot primarily aim at conveying an objective perception, instead I bring forth those subjective feelings which I probably am not even conscious of. Visual art itself is one of the forms of communication between people which we need in order to better understand ourselves and others.

Sometimes when I feel that learning to live means most of all learning the skill of abandoning, I think that at least I don’t have to part with nature and the skill of observing it. However, I know that already during my life time the flora and fauna of the world have significantly diminished due to man’s thoughtless exploitation.
