In his paintings, Lehto subtly combines the aesthetics of pleasantness, clarity and beauty. The unhesitating handprint of the spray paint is startling in its beauty, making the simple shapes embrace the canvas. The almost mundane, familiar and recognizable formal language of the paintings takes you into a world where you can imagine the painter living.

A bit haiku, a bit mantra, a bit hieroglyphic; the paintings by the Helsinki based Finnish couple open up as visual poems about life. The surroundings of the everyday life and its wonders are the ingredients of the artwork. The free associations and the carefree graphic style invoke the casual drawings on napkins, the almost unconscious doodles made during a telephone conversation. The works is a search for balance between the initiatory and spiritual transcendence of the alchemists, the unproductiveness of play, aesthetic minimalism and the punk attitude of ignorant style. Through the paintings, the door is opened to an experience that is at once metaphysical, playful and irreverent.
