Tuukka Tammisaari’s oil paintings cover a broad spectrum ranging from cheeky playfulness to heavy monochrome. The artist describes art-making is his way of compiling an inventory of specific thoughts, events, stories, and feelings. Searching for the new and the unknown is both a perpetual challenge and a source of inspiration for Tammisaari, whose work is informed by the legacy of Western painting and allusions to art history, from minimalism to German Neo-Expressionism.
Tuukka Tammisaari studied painting at the Helsinki Academy of Fine Arts. His works are found in the States Art Collection, the Nelimarkka Foundation Collection, and numerous private collections in Finland, Denmark, the USA, Austria, and Iceland.
