Graduating from the Master’s programme, Antti-Ville Reinikainen has spent most of his life in the coastal area of Southern Finland. He graduated as a visual artist (B.A.) from the Lahti Institute of Fine Arts in 2005. His works show elements from the Africa of his grandfather’s day, the severity of grey suburbs, TV show heroes, and the perennial creak of an old wooden house by the sea. He went to Minneapolis and dressed up as a beer-drinking bear in The Bear Project and drove a limousine through the Helsinki city centre planting plastic flowers in his work Limo Wreck. Reinikainen enjoys trees, jogging, and walruses.
