Finnish graphics are getting worldwide attention. Kari Piippo is one of their representative designers. There are only 2 or 3 colors but their sensual tones seduce viewers and never deceive them. By brilliantly suppressing them, they are cleverly emphasized. The many works exhibited bring home his philosophy that "a good poster is simple, strong and sharp." 48 works including poster designs and works for theaters and cultural events were shown.
