Born 1976 in Helsinki, Finland
Liisa Lounila made her international debut at the Venice Biennale in 2003. Already at this time the young artist representing Finland made an impression with her distinct nostalgic aesthetic. Liisa Lounila is a Helsinki based artist, who has worked several periods of time in New York. In addition to her internationally acclaimed video pieces Lounila is also known as a versatile and multidisciplinary artist. The gloomy and industrial-inspired aesthetics typical for Lounila is present in her newest glitter paintings and palladium sculptures. The works express passing and grasping of fleeting moments. The dazzle and aesthetication is a part of the mood that Lounila skillfully captures in her art. Lounila's object based works communicate life's small, forgotten details that symbolize the emotional state of expectation and excitement, fulfillment and longing.
