WW | Laura Pehkonen: Play, Ground 4.4.–26.4.2025

“In my works, I explore and play with different ceramic materials, techniques, and the contrasts and combinations they create. Although my work is often curiously experimental and playful, it is also important to me that there is peace, balance, and presence in my works. Some of my experiments with clay remain one-offs, while other testing and playing with materials remain permanent elements in my expression. My main material is ceramics, but I also work with wood and mixed media paintings. Regardless of the material, the core of my work is the creation of unique abstract works using and combining various artistic and craft techniques.”

Pehkonen’s works are in, among others, the Helsinki Art Museum HAM, EMMA Espoo Museum of Modern Art, the Finnish State Art Commission/National Gallery, and private collections. In recent years, her works have been exhibited not only in Finland but also in Iceland, Peru, Sweden, Denmark and France.
