Kustaa Saksi (b. 1975, Kouvola, Finland) is an artist based in Amsterdam. His work begins where vision stops being reliable — where images fragment, repeat, and refuse to settle. The boundary between what is seen and what is imagined dissolves.
Working across large-scale installations and woven works, Saksi builds environments where pattern, light, and material produce images that shift as they are approached. Grids, mirrored forms, and fractal structures keep returning — not as motifs but as systems through which images appear, dissolve, and come back changed. This logic runs through nature — roots, networks, branching — and through the visual disturbances of migraine aura, which Saksi has experienced since childhood. In these states perception reorganises itself without permission. Images break into pattern. Pattern breaks into noise.
The work is also physical. Textile, paper, and synthetic fibres construct surfaces with weight, texture, and dimension. Something you can touch, turn around, get wrapped in.
Saksi's work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, New York; EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art; Design Museum Helsinki; Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan; and Kunsthall Stavanger. He has held solo exhibitions in New York, Paris, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam, and his work is held in major public and private collections. In 2023, he was awarded the Pro Finlandia Medal of the Order of the Lion of Finland.
