The wall painting Time Curve created by the world-renowned artist Odili Donald Odita covers approximately 100 square meters of the Panorama space of Kiasma. This colorful work of art was painted with Tikkurila products and is also visible to those passing on the street outside.In addition to white, 68 customized shades of Tikkurila's Harmony Interior Wall Paint have been used for the installation. The color choice was affected by the April light in Helsinki together with the color of snow on the Swiss Alps. Mr. Odita uses very rich and full colors, and their formulation in some cases required the maximum addition of tinting colorants to the paint. Mr. Odita first visited Kiasma in the spring of 2010 to get a feeling for the space and see how the light changes in the course of the day. He hopes that once the exhibition opens, visitors will be able to experience something new when seeing his installation. 'In the end, each viewer decides how to take in the created space, but I hope I can make it interesting enough to make them see themselves and their surroundings in a new and different light, ' Odili Odita says.
