Biography

Ville Kylätasku - Artists - galerieforsblom.com

Portrait of the artist.

Born in Tampere, Finland, 1979 I Lives and works in Berlin.
 

Ville Kylätasku focuses his gaze on the inner, intimate aspects of the human condition. Spirit and matter, consciousness and corporeality, thought and experience, self and otherness, desire and being desired, presence and absence, the visible and the invisible—these and many other existential opposites are fused in the form and content of his art. Addressing timeless existential questions through a lens of humanist inquiry, Kylätasku’s paintings reflect on what it fundamentally means to be human. Kylätasku harnesses emotion as a tool to explore questions at the core of humanity. Perceptions – and the experiences and feelings they evoke – are born at the crossroads between the visible and the invisible. 

 

Ville Kylätasku studied art and design at the Lahti Institute of Design and Fine Arts. His work is found in collections including the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, the Artists’ Association of Finland, the Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art, and the Hort Collection in New York. The artist is based in Berlin.



Galerie Forsblom has been representing Ville Kylätasku since 2016.
