oiva toikka is a finnish artist of immense creative talent, vision and versatility, the creator of elaborate compositions and installations. throughout a varied artistic career spanning over half a century, toikka has worked in glass and ceramics, designed stage sets and costumes for theater, ballet and opera, and textiles for marimekko.
this book sets out to attempt to open up and unravel some of the complex elements that over the years have been the sources of inspiration for what is an uncompromisingly original, creative output - not only in glass, but also ceramics, theater and costume design. the book will take the form of an exploration, analysis and evaluation of his immense contribution to the visual arts through a series of themes and contexts, all of which have been stimulated by his continuing enthusiasm for experimentation and pushing the limits of his very idiosyncratic and instantly recognizable visual vocabulary.
