Biography
Juha Leiviskä fragmented continuous purist volumes into white vertical prisms, combined with glass segments, from which he constructs - mostly on an orthogonal grid that, however, easily deviates and fans out - clear geometric structures, or rather architectural sculptures. Their constitutive phenomenon is the accentuated significance of rhythmically arranged material and light geometries, which especially lends a spiritual dimension to the internal spaces of churches (Mannisto Church in Kuopio, 1986-92, the building of the German Embassy in Helsinki, etc.)
