Within the first group is Ida Ekblad, who uses a variety of pictorial languages, both figurative and abstract, and paints her large-scale paintings with great energy. Apparently chaotically, she mixes colors on the canvas and superimposes drawings sometimes made with the help of trolleys. Fredrik Værslev experiments with appropriated forms, materials and tools, such as the instruments used to trace lines on sport fields, to produce enigmatic drawings and abstract paintings that sometimes bear a strange resemblance to 1950s terrazzo floor motifs. Ivan Galuzin also has many different forms of expression at his disposal, but in this exhibition we have chosen his “monochrome paintings” where he lets the painting itself take over the creative/destructive process. Similarly, when Henrik Olai Kaarstein’s layers of painted plastic materials, which resemble leftovers from a construction site, are hung on the wall, they take on the shape and forms dictated by their own weight and position. Tiril Hasselknippe, who in the past has made sculptures based on the forms of furniture and of surfboards, also lets the forms of her works flow naturally, casting her sculptural objects in the sand, which they absorb to create strange and mysterious objects. Aurora Passero uses nylon materials, which she colors in nuanced shades and hangs from the ceiling, making floating architectural constructions. Similarly, Ann Iren Buan also colors her works in subtle hues, in this case masses of paper that become monumental installations.
