Impressive Modernistic Wooden Sculpture by Finnish Sculptor Pentti Papinaho 1964
About the Item
Pentti Papinaho (1926-1992) was a Finnish sculptor whose works (sculptures and wall reliefs) can be found all over Finland, such as the Tampere Central Hospital and Siilinjärvi Church. His recognitions include the Pro Finlandia award and an honorary title of professor. Some of his works are displayed in Finland in the Orimattila Museum.
This is a commissioned piece for a personal friend of the sculptor. This impressive almost 2m wide block of solid pine wood has been carved beautifully, giving it an abstract look. Due to it's very distinct design and size, this piece has a big presence in any room it's in. It's the perfect centerpiece.
The item is in very good original condition, and has acquired quite a nice vintage patina. It is heavy, at almost 40 kilograms, and it's signed "Pentti Papinaho 1964".
Note*
The last two pictures above feature 2 examples of his works. The first one is the "Tiedon ja taidon solukko" for Lotilan School in Lahti Finland. The second picture is of a signed bronze sculpture.
