New artist to discover

We are very glad to welcome Marit Geraldine Bostad to the agency. Marit is a Norwegian artist who graduated from Psychology at Oslo University and Art Direction at Westerdals Commercial School of Arts. 

Geraldine has been a full-time abstract artist since 2009 when she left her career in Art Direction. In Norway, the artist recently had three major solo shows with KHÅK Kunsthall and Gulden Kunstverk and was honoured to be among the 30 shortlisted artists chosen for the 2020 Ashurst Emerging Artist’s Prize in London. In May 2022, Geraldine was the face of the AAF Hampstead fair campaign that could be seen all over London. She continues to work with galleries and institutions in Dubai, New York, London and Paris.

Through a series of paintings, Marit Geraldine Bostad investigates the themes that are central to her artistic research, the inner psyche, memories and human interaction. She blends her colours by pouring paint directly onto the canvas using a variety of tools, seldom using the paintbrush - to create diverse, versatile effects with broad expressive strokes.

Marit Geraldine explores the Nordic Colour tradition in a bold new direction, blending tone to tone pastels with sparks of fluorescent, manifesting her own personal psychic state onto the canvas. She builds up and breaks down the diverse elements of her experience and brings them together in a new plastic dimension. Through this, she expresses universal archetypes that transcend the particular conditions of her own life, setting the scene for the audience to bring their own meaning to her work.

Discover her work on our website and during our upcoming exhibition, Entrevues, which will take place in Annecy from the 4th to the 16th of October.
