One of the major artists of the young Finnish art scene, Kim Simonsson epitomizes this new generation of artists working beyond the ideologies of the post-modernism advocates, while his work is deep-rooted in pathos. Japanese manga leave its mark on his sculptures whose empathic dimension imparts them a universal impact.

“Works by Kim Simonsson come from another world filled with children looking as doleful as well-behaved, as neat as vicious. (…) We find ourselves in stories of hybridisations and transmutations, in the land of hazy identities, sagas where beasts and beauties invert themselves, where innocence plays constantly with violence, purity and perversion, where black and white, gold and silver glaze various forms of anxiety, power struggles and child sexuality.” (Elisabeth Védrenne, Connaissance des Arts, November 2009)

Simonsson was awarded the prestigious “Young Artist of the Year” award in 2004 and the Pro Arte award in 2009. During the same year, he became the first Arabia Art Department Society Guest artist and got a studio at the famous manufactory. More recently he’s been selected for a residency at the Manufactory of Sevres.
