ENG EST

Antti Eklund (b 1960) is a Finnish architect, designer and artist. He has had an award winning career working for different companies including Alessi and Marimekko. In artists' own words the art is his voice.  In his oeuvre he points out injustice and how power is being abused. The goal of the artworks is to make people take action towards positive changes. In the PoCo museum there are three artworks: “White Barry”, “Face Of Death” and “Lupus Putis”. The artworks bring the power topic to the museum as many countries elect their leaders this year. The idea behind the artwork, which depicts Barack Obama, is that the colour of the skin is not important, but values and actions are. The artwork depicting Donald Trump asks if it is a death mask or a lethal hatemonger. The last artwork depicts Vladimir Putin, who is being dressed as innocence, but in reality is the leader of oppression. “White Barry” is on loan from the Borenius collection. For any enquiries about exhibiting or purchasing the artwork please contact the artist at antti@eklund.art, www.eklund.art

Antti Eklund (s 1960) on Soome arhitekt, disainer ja kunstnik. Tal on võitnud auhindu töötades mitmete firmade, sh Alessi ja Marimekko heaks. Kunstniku sõnul on kunst tema hääl. Oma loomingus juhib ta tähelepanu ebaõiglusele ja võimu ärakasutamisele. Teoste eesmärk on panna inimesi positiivsete muutuste suunas tegutsema. PoCo muuseumis on kolm kunstniku teost “White Barry”, “Face Of Death” ja “Lupus Putis”. Teosed toovad muuseumisse võimu teema kuna paljudes riikides valitakse sellel aastal riigipead. Barack Obamat kujutava teose mõte on selles, et tähtis ei ole mitte inimeste nahavärv, vaid nende väärtused ja tegevus. Donald Trumpi kujutav teos küsib kas tegemist on surimaskiga või surmava vihaõhutajaga. Viimane teos kujutab Vladimir Putinit, kes on rõivastatud kui süütus, ent tegelikkuses rõhumise juht. "White Barry" on laenuks Boreniuse kollektsioonist. Kõigi kunstiteoste eksponeerimise või ostmisega seotud küsimuste korral võtke ühendust kunstnikuga antti@eklund.artwww.eklund.art
