Galerie Anhava is excited to announce the representation of Finnish artist INKA BELL!

Inka Bell is a Helsinki-based visual artist who works within the expanded field of printmaking, exploring printed images, paper sculptures, and public art. Her interests lie in visual phenomena and the limitless possibilities of constructing image surfaces. In Bell’s practice, paper plays a central role – as a material for printing or for shaping into new forms. Through materials, colour, form, and repetition, her works explore the relationship between the two- and three-dimensional. Even with their echoes of minimalism and concretism, her works are nevertheless unmistakably, playfully, insightfully, always Bell’s own. Bell’s works embody subtle moments of transition and transformation, where movement emerges through variations in material and instrumental elements, and invite viewers to observe the changes occurring within them and their relationship to the surrounding space.

Inka Bell (b. 1981, Espoo) lives and works in Helsinki. She graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Printmaking Department of the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of the Arts Helsinki in 2021. Bell has exhibited extensively in Finland and abroad, including at Haus des Papiers, Berlin (2026); Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki (2025); Turku Art Museum (2025); Backlash Gallery, Paris (2025); EMMA Espoo Museum of Modern Art (2024); Forum Box, Helsinki (2023); and HAM Helsinki Art Museum Gallery (2020). Her work is represented in public collections in the United States, Denmark, Belgium, and Finland, including Turku Art Museum, HAM Helsinki Art Museum, EMMA Espoo museum of Modern Art, and Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma. She has created several commissioned public works in Finland, most recently to Hanaholmen Art Park. In 2024, Bell received the William Thuring Grand Prize awarded by the Finnish Art Society.

Bell’s first solo exhibition at Galerie Anhava took place in August 2026.
