Jussi Goman
Jussi Goman (b. 1980 in Pudasjärvi, Finland) is a visual artist who lives and works in Riihimäki. Goman is known for his colorful acrylic paintings combining humor, movement, and lightness. The painterly elements of his works and the surprising visual narratives create a rich, multi-layered ensemble. Goman’s oeuvre also reveals a profound interest in art history, which is evident in his ability to reinterpret and playfully break the conventions of painting.
Goman graduated as a Master of Fine Arts from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in 2008. He has organized numerous solo shows and participated in many group and joint exhibitions both in Finland and internationally. His works are included in several significant collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, the Saastamoinen Foundation Collection, and HAM Helsinki Art Museum. In 2020, Goman was awarded the William Thuring Main Prize by the Finnish Art Society. Jussi Goman’s latest solo show Desire Path was on display at Helsinki Contemporary in August 2025.
