Arto Ali-Eskola<\/h1>\n\n\n

Marttila (1948)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arto Ali-Eskola lives on the fertile farming lands of the south-west of Finland. He grows corn, and farming takes up one hectic month of his summer. During the rest of the year, he produces his art; big, heavy concrete sculptures, and delicate, very fine and exact wood reliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ali-Eskola has his own unique sculpting technique. He digs an enormous casting hole in the clayey ground where he sketches the form of the sculpture, e.g. an elephant or a horse. He makes a rough mould and tries to leave the massive figures hollow. When the cast is dry, he lifts the sculpture up and finds its particular and vivid expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same preciseness is a feature of the wooden reliefs that he produces by dozens during the winter months. His themes include old working methods, environments and very accurate human figures. Ali-Eskola can also forecast weather from nature’s signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
