Anne Koskinen - Familie Koskinen

28.11.2008 - 25.1.2009

The works of the artist Anne Koskinen (1969, Helsinki) include paintings, drawings, sculptures and bronze casts. Many of her works are multipart installations.

Koskinen is often inspired by her personal experiences and situations in life. She examines and reiterates her experiences and applies the highest technical mastery even to works that deal with tragic emotions. The spare appearance of her art conceals conceptual insights and humour. Often the subjects of her studies are the practices and philosophy of art. She is, for instance, interested in how an original is distinguished from its copy.

Anne Koskinen has shown her works in solo exhibitions since 1996. She has a degree from the Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, Germany, and the University of Art and Design Helsinki’s master’s programme in fine arts. In addition to her artistic work, Koskinen has taught and held a professorship at the University of Art and Design Helsinki. The exhibition is a retrospective of her work that covers her entire career.
