Pentti Kaskipuro

This extensive exhibition of works by Pentti Kaskipuro (1930–2010) offers a rare and comprehensive overview of a leading master of Finnish printmaking, tracing his oeuvre from the 1950s to the 2000s.


Over the course of his long career, Kaskipuro developed a distinctive and immediately recognisable style, uniting humble, everyday subject matter with exquisite mastery of intaglio techniques. He is especially celebrated for his still lifes. The exhibition follows his artistic journey from early figure studies and landscapes to still lifes that gradually expanded into broader interiors and sweeping vistas.
