Niilo Hyttinen (1940–2010) is one of the most renowned artists from Kainuu.
Exhibition in Kajaani Art Museum 12.9.–24.11.2024.
Hyttinen’s nationally significant body of work recorded the transformation of the Finnish way of life and its implications. Hyttinen’s humane point of view makes his works as current as ever. He is remembered for his series on underdeveloped areas, and his depictions of the Finnish man, always approaching his subjects with compassion and humour.
In 2022 Kajaani Art Museum received a donation of 19 works by Niilo Hyttinen from his estate. These works will be on display in the art museum during the fall exhibition. The donated works offer a comprehensive insight into Hyttinen’s work from the beginning of his career in the 1960s all the way to the 2000s.
