Information about the artist / the group

I'm a printmaker from Jyväskylä and I've had a studio/Pajagalleria open to the public since 2007. This year the Pajagalleria turns 17 and I'm celebrating it in connection with Konstrundan. The workshop gallery is open on Fridays from 12:00 to 17:00. I graduated from Lahti Art School in 1984 and have worked as a full-time visual artist since then. The technique I used was mainly metal graphics, but since 2016 I have been making unique monotypes. I hold exhibitions all over Finland and this year they are in Helsinki, Sastamala, Mikkeli and Turku. I am especially known as a developer of colored metal graphics and costume-themed works. Suits belong to my childhood because my mother was a seamstress. I made my first costume piece in 1987 and I received a State prize for them.

Program during Konstrundan

Pajagalleria Kirsi Neuvonen is celebrating her 17th birthday in connection with Konstrundani. The birthday discount on works is 10%. At the workshop, you can get to know the printmaker's workroom and the gallery, where the entire production over the decades is on display. On the side of the printing workshop, I will tell the visitors about both the works and the different work phases. In the workshop gallery, my monotypes and graphic prints are for sale, as well as a wide selection of postcards
