Atle Østrem - Solo show in Asbury Park NJ, USA, by exhibitno9 on Jul 20, 2015 10:20:41 GMT 1, AUG 1 - SEPT 20, 2015

Atle Østrem




Exhibit No.9 is pleased to follow up last years success, with Atle Østrem’s second solo exhibition at the gallery - "SUPRIMITIVE” - a mix of paintings and prints on paper and canvas inspired by urban culture and everyday social issues, all viewed through the artist’s unique style and perspective.

Atle Østrem, from Stavanger, Norway, has been painting graffiti since the mid-1990s and creating artworks on paper and canvas since 2000.Among numerous gallery shows, he has also been commissioned by private collectors throughout Europe, along with commissions to paint Stavanger Prison and the University of Stavanger.

Fascinated by the contrast between ugliness and beauty, he explores the "beauglyful" zone where they intersect. His strong iconic existential characters are at once playful and dark, childlike and thoughtfully provocative. They inhabit an interior world and capture those fleeting elements of daily life and emotion, that once we shine a spotlight on them, have the power to show us what it means to be human. Østrem does not consider himself a street artist, nor a fine artist, but something in between. Something beauglyful.

The show opens saturday August 1, 7-10pm. Hope to see some of you there!
