Bjørn Båsen - Chronicles (Copenhagen), 2021, silkscreen print in four colors (CMYC),55 × 64 cm.
"loved the suggestive "house that porcelain built", nice aesthetic and muted color palette. The puzzle suggests the piecing together of a past, perhaps of home or of empire. The collection presented together would lend a space a touch of elegance-through-architecture, with the diverse yet subtle range of colors fitting in with many interior styles."
Ludvik Møller Støldal - Høstdag ved Nationaltheatret, 2024, Original watercolor on paper, 29×42cm.
"I love watercolors and places I recognize from my life as motifs. This example uses sparing empty space well, and the autumn colors coming out against the yellow of the theater makes me think of the coming theater season, as fall turns into winter and Norway seeks its entertainment inside."

Bente Tømmerås- I måneskinn, 2020, linocut framed with Artglass, 32x40cm
"I've always been a big fan of lithos and enjoy the red-black choices for this nighttime scene. The dogs in tow give it an otherwise undo sense of action."
June Sira - Girl under a tree, 2017, painting, 120×110cm,
"This color palette and the features of the girl remind me of Henry Darger's works (lol!), like a child of the fairy war grew up and looks out at her past destruction. I feel a pang of discomfort in the calm."
