Itämaisen filosofian kantavana ajatuksena on yhteys luontoon, jonka mukaan ihmisen tulisi elää luonnon kanssa sopusoinnussa. Luonto ja sen kanssa yhteydessä oleva elämänkulttuuri on myöskin aina ollut suomalaisuuden vahvaa ydintä. Kansainvälisen näyttelyn teemana on luonnon ja elämän vuorovaikutus eri kulttuurien taiteessa.

Vuonna 2018 järjestettiin ensimmäinen Wonderful Gates kutsunäyttely. Tavoitteena oli esitellä suomalaisen ja kiinalaisen nykytaiteen monimuotoisuutta ja samalla vahvistaa kansainvälistä taiteen vuorovaikutusta. Näyttelyiden kautta avautuu portteja myös yhteistyölle taiteen alueella.

Vuorossa on nyt toinen Wonderful Gates-näyttely, jossa taiteilijat avaavat näkemyksiään luonnosta ja elämästä.

The ancient Chinese philosophy is to connect with nature and that one should live in harmony with nature. Nature have also always been a strong core of Finnishness and is well involved within our life style. The theme of this international exhibition is the interaction between nature and life in the art of these two cultures.

In 2018, the first Wonderful Gates exhibition was held. The aim was to present the diversity of Finnish and Chinese contemporary art as well as strengthen international art interaction. These exhibitions is meant to open wonderful gates for cooperation between the art worlds.

There is now a second Wonderful Gates exhibition where artists open their views on nature and life.

中国哲学家老子在《道德经》中强调：道法自然，众妙之门。他认为人要顺应自然，适应自然，才能与自然和谐相生，如百花园里中花朵得以灿烂盛放——这是东方思想的人生观的直接体现。2018年，首届芬中当代艺术邀请展以“众妙之门”为主题阐释，强调芬中当代艺术学术交流展览当中的文化多样性与多元性，倡导通过展览缔结友谊。此次第二届芬中当代艺术邀请展将是在此基础上的延续与深入，展示芬兰和中国艺术家对待自然和人生的不同表达方式，呈现出各自精彩的艺术特性与地域性文化底蕴。期望，以展览为桥梁搭建芬中艺术之间的友谊！

For centuries, the horse has lived alongside humans as a good partner, workmate, mount – in different roles, but also subjugated and poorly treated. Yet – the horse still lives close to man, but at the same time so far away, reacting instinctively to the environment, honestly and directly communicating its feelings.
Long-term cooperation with my own horse has allowed me to learn to understand the horse. I am trying to describe this communication in my works, the emotional state as expression and movement. What you should know in a partnership.

几个世纪以来，马与人类一起生活，作为一个好伙伴，同伴，坐骑 – 担任不同的角色，但也被征服和受到不公对待。 然而 – 马仍然与人类生活在一起，但与此同时，本能地与环境作出反应，诚实而直接地传达其感情。
Jouni在与自己的马长期的合作中学会了了解马。 他试图在他的铜塑作品中描述这种交流，将运动作为情感状态的描述。

I developed my aesthetic from my nordic roots, creating an island that wants to escape from the 4 walls of the canvas to form a circular motion of calm. This idea has been present in my mind for many years but now it takes center stage. Otherwise colourful paintings have become white washed with winter, the nordic love and presence of white is fully embraced, hopefully, ultimately creating complete colourless paintings in the future. This is the beginning of a new motion of simplicity in the chaos of the elements that surround us. The “sisu” in the otherwise outwards cold exterior.

I received my Master’s Degree in Fine Arts in 2011 from Kuvataideakatemia in Helsinki, Finland (during the studies I took part in an exchange program in UCL Slade in London, UK). I have exhibited in New York, Monaco, Abu Dhabi, Paris, Florence and many other countries. In Finland I have exhibited in Taidekeskus Salmela, Taidehalli, Sanomatalo, Kaapelitehdas and other galleries within Finland. I have been concentrating on my signature style and technique of acrylic painting for about 11 years now, I envision the world submerged underwater and have created a surreal environment for my imagination to roam free.

我从北欧的根源发展了我的审美，创造了一个想要从画布的四面墙上逃脱的岛屿，形成一个平静的圆周运动。这个想法多年来一直存在于我的脑海中，但现在它已成为焦点。除此以外，五彩缤纷的画作在冬天变得白皙，北欧的爱情和白色的存在完全被拥抱，希望最终在未来创作完整的无色画作。这是探索在围绕着我们的混乱的元素中的简约新动作的开始。

我于2011年在芬兰美术学院获得了美术硕士学位（在我参加英国伦敦UCL Slade的交流项目期间）。我曾在纽约，摩纳哥，阿布扎比，巴黎，佛罗伦萨和许多其他国家展出。在芬兰，我曾在Taidekeskus Salmela，Taidehalli，Sanomatalo，Kaapelitehdas和芬兰的其他画廊展出过。我一直专注于我的标志性风格和丙烯画的技术已有11年了，我想象世界淹没在水下，并创造了一个超现实的环境，让我的想象力自由漫游。

Outside my Ceramic Studio in Eckerö, Åland, is the gate to ”Il Giardino Armonico”, our harmonic garden, where I find the main source of my inspiration. Here lies calmness, greens and flowers creating different forms and spaces and the possibility to follow the fascinating cycles of nature from up-close, cycles of which we are all part of. Seeds, flowers and fruits. The humbleness before the great. The life and respect for nature. It is all a great symphony.
My thoughts go often to Carl von Linné and the enormous contribution he made by building of the botanical system, basis for all life.
Today much of my work consists of making urns in the low fired ”Raku technic”. As in a symphony you have the ouvertyre, the main theme and so the final – so it is also in our lives .

在我的Åland的Eckerö陶瓷工作室外，是我们的花园“Il Giardino Armonico”的大门，在那里我找到了灵感的主要来源。 在这里，平静，绿色和鲜花创造出不同的形式和空间，并且可以从近距离的循环中追随迷人的，我们都是其中的一部分的自然循环。 种子，鲜花和水果。 伟大之前的谦卑。 生命和对自然的尊重。 这是一部伟大的交响曲。
我经常想到CarlvonLinné以及他通过建立植物系统所做的巨大贡献，这是所有生命的基础。
今天我的大部分工作都是在低烧的“Raku技术”中制作瓮。 就像在交响乐中你有序曲，主题和结尾一样 – 所以它也在我们的生活中。
