Ida Ekblad
Ida Ekblad is an artist whose practice incorporates painting, sculpture, performance filmmaking as well as poetry. Her expressive paintings are noted for their bold application of colour and unique compositions, nodding to historical movements such as CoBrA and Abstract Expressionism whilst teetering on the edge of what one might define as ‘good taste’. Heralded by many as the preeminent voice of the Norwegian contemporary art scene, Ida’s work has been acquired by a number of world’s most prestigious institutions and she has twice participated in the Venice Biennale.
