"Timo Ala-Vähälä is a researcher and visual artist spending his summers in Östanå, Kemiönsaari. Since 2015, he has held his own exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions in Finland and abroad. Additionally, he leads life drawing classes for local enthusiasts in Herttoniemi, Helsinki.
"I enjoy drawing on large paper, as big as my hand can reach, quickly and with as few lines as possible. Photography is a newer interest for me. In my photo series ‘Winter in Helsinki,' I depict everyday routes, people outdoors, or waiting for the bus. Everyday winter vibes."
Veera Ala-Vähälä on Lahden Muotoiluinstituutista valmistunut graafinen suunnittelija ja Axxell-ammattikoulun käynyt keramiikka-artesaani. Eläimiä lapsesta asti piirtänyt ja muovaillut Veera tekee nykyään keramiikkaa työhuoneellaan Helsingin Ruskeasuolla. Veeran käsistä valmistuvat pienet, Ceramicdoggies-nimellä tunnetut keramiikkakoirat ja muut eläimet. Kaikki Veeran keramiikkateokset ovat korkean polton kivitavarakeramiikkaa.
“Kubun näyttelyyn olen tehnyt hieman normaalia miniatyyrimittakaavaani suurempia eläinveistoksia. Teosten leikkisiä muotoja on hauska tarkastella kaikista suunnista ja eläinten ilmeet korostuvat. Mitähän tuikean näköinen kissa miettii?”
Veera Ala-Vähälä is a graphic designer who graduated from the Lahti Institute of Design and a ceramic artisan from the Axxell vocational school. Veera, who has been drawing and making clay animals since she was a child, now makes ceramics in her studio in Ruskeasuo, Helsinki. Veera's hands produce small ceramic dogs and other animals known online as Ceramicdoggies. All of Veera's ceramic works are high-fired stoneware ceramics.
"For this exhibition in Kubu, I have made animal sculptures slightly larger than my normal miniature scale. The playful shapes of the works are fun to look at from all angles and the expressions of the animals are emphasized. What is the feisty-looking cat thinking?”
