Sihvonen dedicated his career to understanding color and color interactions and combining that with his interest in math and Set Theory and observations of rhythm, beat and pattern progression from music and dance to create the sensation of movement in a two-dimensional painting.

David Richard Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming presentation, Oli Sihvonen, Kinetic Energy at the Gallery’s newest venue in Harlem, located at 211 East 121st Street, New York, NY 10035, P: (212) 882-1705. This is the gallery’s second solo exhibition for Sihvonen and his first in New York since 2005. The exhibition will be on view through March 3, 2018. A digital catalogue will be available online.

Sihvonen’s entire career was committed to painting. His interests and intense explorations were primarily focused in two areas: first, the interaction of adjacent colors and their effect on visual perception in humans; and the second, creating the sense of movement in a two-dimensional painting.
