About
Hello,
My name is Marte Gulbrandsen, and I live and work in Oslo. I work primarily with ink, charcoal and oil pastel, often in combination with text. Desire, humour, vulnerability and the feeling of wanting to disappear are recurring themes in my work.
The language in my images is often raw and direct, placed alongside more precise linework. The contrast is the point: the overt alongside what has been drawn with careful precision.
The works may be perceived as dark, but they just as often emerge through play, humour and an exploration of the thoughts we usually try to hide or censor
