Posti
celebrates the Artists' Association of Finland's 150th anniversary with
its own stamps, which feature six works that were chosen in a design
competition that was arranged in spring 2014. The stamps feature several areas
of the visual arts, including traditional painting and photography.
The
works of art selected for the stamps, the artists and their places of residence
are:
· Viiva-muoto
(Line form), Anneli Hilli, graphic artist/painter, Espoo
· Piste
(Point), Mika Natri, artist, Turku
· Taiteilijan
vuoristorata (Artist's rollercoaster), Marjo Suikkanen,
sculptor, Viljakkala
· Dance

· Lento
(Flight), Laura Konttinen, artist, Helsinki
· Hedelmistä
puu tunnetaan (You will know them by their fruits), Kalevi Karlsson,
architect/artist, Helsinki
The
graphic design for The Artists' Association of Finland 150 years stamp
booklet comes from Dog Design. The stamp design competition received a total of
131 works, which were evaluated by a seven-person jury made up of artists and
representatives from Posti.
The
Artists' Association of Finland is an influencer and expert organization in the
visual arts, which represents over 3,000 professional artists. The association
was also the subject of a stamp in February 1964 when a postage stamp was
published in honour of its 100th anniversary.
Thank
you Dear Ella for this nice FDC.
