About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
Laituri’s work is made up of delicate line work, built from a push and pull approach where ink is laid down on his clayboard medium, and carved out with sharpened tools, resulting in highly defined and meticulous strokes reminiscent of a historic wood engraving. Each drawing cultivates its monochromatic palette to emphasize the artist’s control of values, contrast, mood and narrative, as inspired by printmakers and artists of the past. This dichotomy of technique serves as an accentuation of the artists play on dualities throughout his work.
