The Top 100 - Timed Auction

In Taru Happonen's paintings, organic forms from the untouched nature merge with human-built shapes creating an inseparable whole. Happonen has been playing with a thought about a creature that is visiting and seeing the Earth for the first time.

The artist’s paintings are a combination of abstract and figurative elements. When examined closer, one can see small details among the thick layers of oil paint. The paintings have been made using high-quality oil paints with vivid colours. 

Taru Happonen (b.1989) is a Finnish artist living and working in Helsinki.
