Ola Kolehmainen

Earlier works

In his earlier works Kolehmainen reduces buildings to their ornamental character. What appeals to him are the geometric grids of façade surfaces, ceiling designs or reflecting window openings on the selected landmarks of architectural history. Where nature meets architecture as a reflection, his minimalist, aesthetic work begins, which was strongly influenced by James Turell and Carl Andree in the 2000s. The artist extracts his specific statements about architecture and space, silence, beauty and harmony from both the structure and the colourfulness, as well as the history of construction and the specific lighting conditions.
