Riiko Sakkinen (born in 1976, Helsinki) is a visual artist. He currently lives in Pepino, Toledo, Spain. Sakkinen is the founder of Turbo Realism; an art movement that uses critical irony, provocation and intervention as means of addressing sociopolitical and economic issues of the modern capitalist world through visual arts. Turbo Realism aims to pinpoint the irony within commercial and political structures and actions through reconstructing familiar imagery and multilingual vocabulary into a new combination of refined and truthful meaning beyond their original commercial use. The result is often a painting or a drawing, containing slogan-like statements, that seems joyful and ordinary at the surface but has an ironic intention of creating a feeling that something is indeed horribly wrong

dbo:abstract
  • Riiko Sakkinen (Helsinki, 2 de julio de 1976) es un artista finlandés que explora la cultura de consumo y reside y trabaja en Pepino, Toledo, España. Dibujos de tamaño Din A4, en papel de baja calidad, expuestos en instalaciones de paredes coloreadas nos representan el mundo que Sakkinen ve y que según el artista muchos no quieren ver. También realiza pinturas, muchas de ellas en correalización con otros artistas, con iconos que adquiere de representaciones gráficas efímeras de la cultura de consumo, provenientes de la publicidad y la televisión, objetos, actuaciones, intervenciones, textos, listas en las que nos muestra las más ridículas obsesiones del mundo e incluso conceptos. Su obra está incluida en colecciones permanentes en el MoMA de Nueva York y en los museos de arte Amos Anderson y Kiasma, ambos en Helsinki (es)
  • Riiko Sakkinen (born in 1976, Helsinki) is a visual artist. He currently lives in Pepino, Toledo, Spain. Sakkinen is the founder of Turbo Realism; an art movement that uses critical irony, provocation and intervention as means of addressing sociopolitical and economic issues of the modern capitalist world through visual arts. Turbo Realism aims to pinpoint the irony within commercial and political structures and actions through reconstructing familiar imagery and multilingual vocabulary into a new combination of refined and truthful meaning beyond their original commercial use. The result is often a painting or a drawing, containing slogan-like statements, that seems joyful and ordinary at the surface but has an ironic intention of creating a feeling that something is indeed horribly wrong with the world. Sakkinen has stated his view on art through the words of Pablo Picasso: ”The art is not made to decorate rooms. It is an offensive weapon in the defence against the enemy.” In addition to his works on canvas and paper, Sakkinen has actively created installations, interventions and happenings as well as designed objects that combine multiple media.He has held numerous solo and group shows in Europe and The United States and his works are included in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Amos Anderson Art Museum and Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki. Among his most recent activity is the Rikhardinkatu Public Library intervention in Helsinki, Finland called ”Riiko Sakkinen's Favorite Books”. (en)
