Katja
Tukiainen welcomes you into her realm of pleasure. Her art is a
manifest of pleasure and escapism. Tukiainen works with painting,
drawing and installation. The extension of her personality,
Mademoiselle Good Heavens (called also Sophie) appears in her super
size wall paintings, in her comic books and tattooed on people’s skin.
Tukiainen works with her girl army. The members of her army are cute,
irreproachable, strong and dangerous girls who do anything she asks. In
the art of Tukiainen, innocence and seduction are combined.
Tukiainen is
an acclaimed artist whose works are included in international
exhibitions and public collections. Tukiainen has participated in
artist-in-residence programs in Italy, New York and Japan.
