Arto Korhonen

Arto Korhonen masters his technique and subject. In an innovative way, he combines traditional watercolor painting with ordinary, daily urban imagery and makes it available to a wider audience. He says: I want to use watercolor, and build installations that show, that crafts based on old technology, makes the contemporary phenomena visible in an interesting way.
