Ola Kolehmainen
Galería Senda
E.Barcelona, 24 Jan-01 Mar 2008
Вот. Студентка, комсомолка… в смысле, член творческого союза, видная фигура финской школы творческой фотографии:
Ola Kolehmainen, one of the most prominent artists of the "Finnish School," graduated in 1999 from the University of Art and Design in Helsinki (TaiK). His work centers on the exploration of contemporary architecture. Concentrating on the basic structure of architectural façades and interiors, and the strict geometrical order of serial forms, Kolehmainen creates nearly abstract images whose aesthetics are rooted in Minimalism. Disturbing details, called "visual noise" by the photographer, are eliminated, yet there always appear to be elements that undermine the concept of a clear, orderly structure, such as tree branches covering a section of a façade or mirrored façades reflecting a fragmented view of the world outside.
Composition of Collected Reflections
C-print, Diasec (silicon mounted between Plexiglas and Reynobond)
203 x 263 cm., Ed. 6, 145 x 185 cm., Ed. 3
Магия текста:
Architecture is the subject matter of Ola Kolehmainen's photographs; however, these are not photographs that document architecture. The building is a source of inspiration. The artist is fascinated by the building's structural compositions, focusing on their details and sequences. This type of architecture abandons the building's three-dimensional quality and transforms it into an abstract object. As well, the facades show reflections, providing a metaphoric meaning that questions the notion of presence and absence. Kolehmainen's photographs are always done on a large scale, allowing them to move beyond their visible parameters, to the point where the eye can no longer see and the imagination takes over.

Minimalism is my great love (Ola Kolehmainen, 2002)
In my works I concentrate on what is essential in a space, building or structure, leaving out things that are unnecessary, which I call visual noise. The original forms of my subjects often contain many repeated elements, a single form or material, often the same, in large quantities. When three-dimensional forms of this kind are photographed they tend to become surfaces, planes. The visual cleansing of a theme, its representation in a large-format photograph laminated on acrylic will, however, produce a new kind of multidimensional image of reality…
Photography of architecture, new awareness of volume and it´s relationship to space (Timothy Persons, 2002)
Ola Kolehmainen’s current project can be broken into three phases. The first being the measurement of the emotional, the second the physical, and the third the sensory perception of a new awareness of volume and its relationships to space…
