Antti-Ville Reinikainen (b. 1980) lives and works in Helsinki. He graduated as a visual artist from the Lahti Art Institute in 2005 and from the Master of Fine Arts programme at the University of Art and Design in 2007. Reinikainen works with wood and cast materials in his sculptures using multi-stage craft methods. Reinikainen also uses moving image and painting techniques in his works. In the imagery of the works, often recognisable objects such as vehicles and furniture merge, crack and transform into other, sometimes even completely abstract structures. The familiar and the safe are often mixed with absurd threats. His works are part of both domestic and foreign art collections. The exhibition at the Forum Box Gallery is his 22nd solo show.
