Mikko Ängeslevä ^{Emerging artist}

Artist's country of origin: Finland

I’m graduating with an MFA in the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki this December. I have previously studied at Kankaanpää School of Arts, SAMK, and graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of Culture and Arts.

This spring I participated in Kuvan Kevät 2024, which is the MFA Degree Show of the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki. I’ve had solo exhibitions in Gallery Mältinranta 2021 at Tampere, Gallery Katariina 2019 at Helsinki, and Poriginal Gallery 2016 at Pori. I’ve also participated in two Museum exhibitions at Rauma Art Museum 2019 and Emil Cederkreutz Museum 2023 in Harjavalta, both in Finland. I’ve had one solo exhibition abroad at pART Gallery, Estonia, and participated in seven group shows in Portugal (3), France (1), Estonia (2), and Ghana (1).

Two of my MFA exhibition works were purchased by Päivi and Paavo Lipponen Foundation. These works are now part of the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma and the Finnish National Gallery collection.
