BIO
Viivi Lehto (born 1983) is an artist and designer, living and working in Helsinki. As an artist she wants to create new, playful, often a bit twisted or humorous, versions of reality. Lehto believes that art is a powerful tool to open new viewpoints by tickling the imagination. Lehto is especially interested to work with projects related to growth, illusions, feelings and rhythm. Currently she is working with a Garden series consisting of colorful and multidimensional glass sculptures. The garden represents for her unruliness, playful growth and freedom of spirit. Lehto graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design from Lahti Institute of Design, University of Applied Sciences 2009. Currently she is finalizing her Master studies in Aalto University, Visual Culture, Curating & Contemporary Art Programme. Her first solo exhibition, “In the Garden”, was a part of the programme of Helsinki Design Week 2019 main venue Erottaja 2.
