Rights & Brands – the home of Moomin – has welcomed Finnish artist Teemu Järvi to its portfolio.
Teemu (pictured) uses organic, traditional tools like the reed pen to capture the soul of the Northern wilderness. His vivid animal characters and nature art have gained renown around the world – no wonder, considering his unique style and craftsmanship. In his art, Teemu masters traditional techniques such as Chinese ink drawing and Japanese Gyotaku.
“Rights & Brands is proud to welcome Teemu Järvi,” commented Ilkka Lind, sales director at Rights & Brands. “His signature style is beyond comparison, capturing the true essence and movement of the animal. Respect and love for nature lie at the very core of his art – in a similar way that these values are present in the world of the Moomins created by Tove Jansson.”
Rights & Brands will represent Teemu Järvi for merchandising and publishing rights. The first collaboration to launch is for a men’s leisurewear collection by Joseph Abboud Japan for the Japanese market.
Teemu commented: “It is an honour to join the renowned group of artists and brands that Rights & Brands represent. I am looking forward to collaborations but also to the opportunity this gives me to focus on my artistic work and find new ways of expression.”
Stockholm-based Rights & Brands represents a raft of Nordic brands, artists and authors such as Tove Jansson and Mauri Kunnas.
