Kaveripiknik

Kaveripiknik by Kati Immonen is two floors tall and spreads over the canteen wall of Lasten Kartano daycare centre. In this colourful piece, animals familiar from many fairy tales, such as a squirrel, a rabbit, a poodle and a snail, are travelling towards an abundant picnic spread, featuring pastries decorated with sweets, wild strawberries, skewers filled with treats, various fruit, and pea pods. The work reaches up like spiral, turning into a lush vine where colourful birds sit perched among the leaves. The work was created using oil paints on birch plywood cut to shape.

The work was produced under the Percent for Art programme, and it belongs to the collection of the City of Helsinki, managed and curated by HAM.
