Jukka Niskanen: AluMetal, aluminium sculptures, Art Center Ahjo, Hehku-space Joensuu 11.2.-1.3. 2026.

In aluminium fascinates color and it´s several qualities, f.i. shaping, durability and lightness. Compared to “Iron maid” aluminium is sophisticated lady.My work method is traditional Learning by doing. In my workshop I make experimental examples with materials and colors. Usually I know in advance theme or shape what I´m searching. Artpieces develope ja convert.In AluMetal exhibition works were supposed to be mobiles, types of kinetic hangin sculptures. What was left is hangin from the roof. And something common with mobile. Shadows have special meaning, because they repeat the movement.In exhibition there´s a wall of hunting trophies that takes a stand, made by recycled metals.
