Riiko Sakkinen: LOS MOIMOI DE FUENGIROLA
Exhibition and research project on the Finnish identity
Serlachius Headquarters, Mänttä
June 15, 2024–February 16, 2025
Riiko Sakkinen's talks about his art and about his up-coming exhibitions at Galerie Forsblom Helsinki and at the Natural History Museum.
Sami Lukkarinen and Riiko Sakkinen are participating in the group show Glitch Art at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art Vaasa.
Riiko Sakkinen shares his thoughts about his new book of drawings, drawing, and thinking by drawing.
Riiko Sakkinen’s exhibition PRESIDENTTIPELI (Presidetial Games) opened on December 1 at the Hyvinkää Art Museum. To mark Finland’s centennial celebrations, Sakkinen has painted portraits of all 12 Presidents of the Republic of Finland on the white walls of the museum.
In Riiko Sakkinen's art, the experiences of a narcissist have shifted to class consciousness and the exploration of Finnish identity.
Voima Magazine interviewed Riiko Sakkinen about his upcoming exhibition at the Serlachius Museum in the summer of 2024.
In Fuengirola, Spain, there is a settlement of Finns where they are aiming for a kind of utopia. Riiko Sakkinen observes the Finnish community of Fuengirola, i.e. the people of Fuge, from an excellent position. He was born in Helsinki but has lived almost half of his life in Spain. He has been interested in studying Finnishness through art but hasn't come up with the right idea to implement this before.
"Then I discovered this kind of Finnishness some hundreds of kilometers away from home! I'm good at recognizing where the border between Finnishness and Spanishness lies."
Sakkinen has applied a form of academic research to his work at Fuge. He interviewed locals with a structured set of questions and read all the background material he could find on the subject. Still, it is an art project. In the Los Moimoi de Fuengirola series, for example, there are works that present statistics describing the attitudes and values of the people of Fuengirola. Although the diagrams look real, the artist has made them up on his own.
"Maybe those are good guesses. I could have used real studies, but the studies related to fugelians are old and not very interesting."
The chosen method fits the art defined by the artist himself as turborealism. While realism presents the world as it appears, turborealism, according to Sakkinen, shows it as it is. Even if the truth is stretched a bit.

The Art Critic Recommends Riiko Sakkinen's Newly Opened Exhibition
"RIIKO SAKKIEN's bazaar hanging offers familiar themes, from the cannibalism of fast food mascots to the criticism of capitalism. What's new is the craftsmanship and strikingness of the works, which almost beats the original sales packaging."
