Once Upon A Time - Sinkka Art Museum

There were three magnificent Muse sculptures by Nina Terno 

ONCE UPON A TIME - Collection of Aune Laaksonen Art Foundation

I visit the center of Kerava - half an hour from the center of Helsinki - every now and then, but never went to Sinkka before. Now this art museum presents a fabulous collection of contemporary & modern Finnish art. The exhibition was wonderful! First of all, the museum's facilities are light, modern and diverse, perfectly suited to contemporary art.  I was fascinated by the fact that there were very different types of work involved: big and colorful oil paintings and smaller black and white graphics. Numerous sculptures also added their own charm to the atmosphere of the exhibition. Here some photos for you. Unfortunately I don’t know all the artists’ names.

Kuutti Lavonen - Tricolore 1

There were several works by Lavonen in the exhibition, including colorful Andy Warhol-style
paintings and collages based on a photograph. One topic was James Dean.

Hannu Väisänen - Passion tree

The yellow stone by Ulla Rantanen had a wonderful & mystic shine;
the big metallic oval statue was called Shield of Earth.

Painting in the background: Juho Karjalainen - Ship of Dreams Sailing

This funny guy was called Seaman on Land

Tero Laaksonen - Il moro di Venezia

A touch of Easter: This large installation explores big and small: How inmense are our  feelings 

in relation to our  human size! A giant nest of giant eggs brought to my mind a story of HG Wells: 

Aepyornis Island. It was a giant bird living in Madagascar, now in extinction.
