<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nWe are pleased to present new works by Idun Baltzersen at this year\u2019s edition of Market Art Fair. Idun Baltzersen is born 1987 in Trondheim, Norway. After completing her studies at Konstfack – University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in 2014 she now lives and works in Stockholm. She works with drawing and a wide range of different printing techniques, on paper, fabric and on wood. In our stand at Market Art Fair (#23) we will present a large-scale textile collage made from woodcuts as well as smaller detailed drypoint collages on paper and a painted woodcut relief. The size is important, I like to work monumentally \u2013 as large as possible. It is frustrating to make large woodcuts, I get a sore back and splinters in my fingers, I can\u2019t see what I\u2019m doing when the subject is so large, it becomes like a landscape of wood. But when the works are finished, I am always surprised. It is a great satisfaction witnessing how the works develop in dialogue with the technique. \u2013 Idun Baltzersen, Stockholm, 2017<\/p>\n More information about Idun Baltzersen<\/a> More information about Market Art Fair:

\nI work \ufb01guratively, usually with techniques like woodcut, drypoint, linocut or drawing. The motifs are carved in large factory sized plywood boards i.e. woodblocks. When a woodblock is finished, I print it on sheeting, on the floor in my studio. After that I sew the prints together into collages, prints from the same woodblock recur, sometimes several times. I often combine the collages with the actual woodblocks when I exhibit, so that both the original relief and the representations are presented.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nI am captivated by young women, heroines, martyrs, how they live, lived and will live. In my work they are recognizable by their hooded jackets, Converse shoes and self-contained body language. They are their own protagonists, all lead characters in their own estranged bodies, and antagonists to each other, alone together. They occupy the scenes without thinking so much about \u2019how\u2019 and \u2019why\u2019, as if it has become the most natural thing in the world, their destiny and mission, doomed to endure the audience and themselves (turning their backs on everyone). They often have their hair braided.<\/em><\/p>\n
