Timo-Olavi Jalkanen
deliberately distances himself from copying the beauty of nature.
Instead he transforms images of nature into windows to his own inner
spiritual world. The spectators are drawn into the picture space, and
they can sense the emotions he experienced at that moment he captured
the scene. I described him to be Romantic artist, expressing Caspar
David Friedrich way contemporary Finnish landscape . "Modern Post-tech
Romantic maybe", he replied.
Specifying that his artistic romanticism springs up as a contrast to
his decades long, active hitech career (he worked as a computer and
microprocessor designer e.g. in Nokia Corporation and was
involved with people like Bill Gates). His need to escape from that
short cycle time technological life was so strong, that now in his art,
man-made objects do not exist; wooden rowboats being an exception. The
picture frames can be made of wood he collected from the lake Pyhäjärvi
in the photo locations. Broken rowboats, pieces of oars, and sunken
boards of old jetties have now got a new life as frames and
installations. All his works are unique. There are no copies of them.
T-O Jalkanen works and lives in Pispala, suburb of Tampere, Finland.
