Raimo Utriainen

[2] In 1993, shortly before his death, Utriainen established an art foundation, which awards annual grants to support young sculptors.

[4] Utriainen exhibited internationally as part of collections of modern Finnish art, in Sweden, West Germany, France, Poland and the United States.

His most notable solo exhibitions were in Finland, as well as two invitational tours of Japan in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

[1] Utriainen's main body of work consists of monumental sculptures utilising strict mathematical shapes and themes, often large-scale and designed for public places, and usually made of metal (especially steel and aluminium).

[4] In 1980, Utriainen was awarded the Pro Finlandia [fi] medal of the Order of the Lion of Finland.
