Umppa Niinivaara: Cave

ARS NOVA
10.10.2025—22.3.2026

This exhibition, composed of unique, large-scale sculptures, invites visitors to dive beneath the surface — exploring depths, hidden coves, and natural forms. Cave is a place where nature and art meet. It is the home of ascetics, a shelter for humans, and nature’s own secret.

Behind the material-driven aesthetics lies a profound experience of nature. Niinivaara’s works are hand-shaped, constructed, and cast. Created using raku techniques and other experimental ceramic methods, the pieces are combined with various material explorations, mapping the tactile and unpredictable dimensions of sculpture.

More information about the exhibition will be updated soon.
