Born in 1994, Finland.
Eetu Sihvonen is a Finnish artist whose work traverses the realms of sculpture, installation, and digital fabrication, constructing surreal narratives that blend historical references with contemporary techniques. Educated at the Academy of Fine Arts, University of the Arts Helsinki, Sihvonen employs materials such as charred wood and 3D-printed resin to create intricate, dreamlike scenes populated by peculiar characters and architectural forms.
Sihvonen has participated in exhibitions at institutions and galleries including Temnikova & Kasela (Tallinn), Gaa Gallery (Cologne), and Plicnik Space Initiative (London), among others. Their upcoming projects include residencies and group shows across Europe, reflecting a growing international presence.
Central to Sihvonen's practice is the concept of world-building, crafting immersive environments that evoke a sense of melancholy and wonder. By intertwining traditional craftsmanship with modern digital processes, their work challenges perceptions of materiality and temporality, inviting viewers into a contemplative exploration of imagined histories and futures.
