Taavetti Ketoja: Embracing the Primal

View fullsize

Monochromatic Journey into the Abstract and the Organic

Taavetti Ketoja's next project delves into a profound exploration of abstract objects symbolizing the organic and sexual nature of life, with holes serving as a central theme. The exhibition presents an array of monochrome, aesthetically pleasing exhibits that echo a sense of raw vulnerability. These creations are executed with a distinct texture, reminiscent of unfinished porcelain, which adds to their primal charm. Ketoja's pieces in this collection are not only visually appealing but also serve as potent metaphors of the stripped-down essence of life and sexuality.

"In art, as in life, the primitive and the abstract intersect. My latest project is a journey into this intersection, a dialogue with the raw beauty of nature, and a tribute to the sexual energy that fuels life itself." - Taavetti Ketoja
