Niklas Rämö (1988) is a Finnish visual artist based in New York State. He has produced independently since 2008, having exhibited in Helsinki, Miami, and New York. Today he lives in the Hudson Valley, and his work can be found worldwide.
Rämö has produced a diverse portfolio of visual art. He depicts subject as a composed reflection of the viewer, examining a potential authentic. These are familiar images, transformed into an authentic reflection of our perception.
Recent work continues this transformative process in a new environment. Relocation to the Hudson Valley introduced an abundance of natural landscape. This new world dominates recent production, but its attitude remains grounded in the pioneering work done in Brooklyn.
A variety of characteristics define our perspective of a subject. We measure, calculate, and decide on the nature of a thing. We ponder and decide on the nature of nature. Rämö employs an intuitive approach adjusting traits and environmental characteristics resulting in a perceptive harmony. The outcome is an idealized image that promotes a greater understanding of a subject. The result may be manufactured, but it serves to encourage our affection for the real and draw from what it provides.
