Laura Ilvessalo: Colour dialogues

Jan 30 – Feb 22, 2025

Ala-Malmin tori 1, 00700 Helsinki

Helsinki-based visual artist and textile designer Laura Ilvessalo’s Colour Dialogues exhibition invites the audience to reflect on the connections between colours.

In her oil paintings, Ilvessalo studies the expressive relationships of colours that arise when different shades of one colour interact, contradict and complement each other.

The colours and themes of the works challenge us to think about how different cultural, emotional and personal colour interpretations shape our understanding of visual language. As a monochrome, meditative whole, each work serves as a unique dialogue and contributes to a wider experience of the power of colour to awaken, inspire and provoke.

As you move around the space, consider yourself a participant in these chromatic conversations. What colours speak to you and what stories do they tell?
