Vibeke Slyngstad attracted international attention while taking part in the Nordic and Danish pavilions at the 2009 Venice Biennale.The relationship of this artist's work with rationalist architecture and with nature makes him one of the most interesting figures of Norwegian art.His intimist painting emerges in this publication that gathers for the first time his entire body of works, from the late 1990s to his latest paintings, inspired by the effects of the terror attacks in Oslo on 22 July 2011.Vibeke Slyngstad (b. 1968) completed her studies at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 1994. Since then she has participated in several exhibitions and her works have been acquired by several key collections, including the National Museum of Art in Oslo. This is her first museum exhibition, curated to reflect her artistic work from the early 1990s up to the present day.Slyngstad's figurative paintings reveal how our perception of reality has already been mediated through film and digital images. Her compositions are reminiscent of film stills or images created through photographic optics. In addition, they exhibit a penetrating light that creates a sense of weightlessness and transparency.
