Aine Art Museum – Kaarina Kaikkonen: I Grow the Sun

April 26 – August 3, 2025

 

The internationally acclaimed and beloved artist Kaarina Kaikkonen (b. 1952) presents her exhibition I Grow the Sun, showcasing monumental textile installations and sculptures in her first solo exhibition in Northern Finland. These works reflect human emotions and experiences through everyday objects and textiles.

 

Kaikkonen works with her materials with warmth and respect, honoring their previous users. Through them, memories and the passage of time are conveyed — these are materials rich with personal and symbolic meaning.

 

Kaarina Kaikkonen’s work has been exhibited internationally, and her pieces are included in numerous major collections. She is an honorary member of the Association of Finnish Sculptors.
