Berit Myrebøe, Expressions in aluminium; Exchange Lichtenberg Studios – Sant Marc air 2024

Espai Sant Marc de Sineu has carried out the first part of the exchange with the Lichtenberg Studios residence in Berlin.  This residency has implemented a residency program that relates art to the reality of that neighborhood. This year the resident artist is Berit Myreboee (Norway).

«The basis of my work are intense studies of space and movement. Human bodies in open space and space itself are being captured in short time sequences using photographic techniques. Therefore drafts respectively photographs, which are transferred to the aluminium picture surface, originate.

The photos are then transferred to the aluminium picture surface by using a a self-developed , artistic transfer process. The actual painting can then begin: the structures of the shapes are enhanced with colour, further developed and interpreted. By using highly pigmented oil-based paint the structures of the motive are accentuated, interpretated and developed. The brush strokes change the transferred photographic image and extend it from its former ‘self’; my personal interpretation creates several different levels to each form.»

«Shadowy figures appear, lightly breathed onto the cold metal, landscapes sketchily emerge; both connected to the reflective nature of the background by the space of the surroundings. Just like the structurally defined use of colour, painting techniques are used to oppose this reflection. Matt and contrast define movement, shine and light in the picture borders express space.  The picture edges seem to widen as the viewer enters the reality of the image.  The image releases itself from the confinement of the border. Through consideration of the picture frame, the observer can interact between the real space and the spatial area in the picture. Each moment of the observation becomes a photographic still of both spaces.» Text by Ivo Goetz, FAZ

    So, it sounds as though Espai Sant Marc de Sineu has started an art exchange with Lichtenberg Studios in Berlin. This program’s aim is to connect art to the local environment, with Berit Myreboee as this year’s focused artist.

    Berit’s work seems to involve studying space and movement, focusing on capturing human bodies and spaces in short sequences using photography. These images are then transferred to aluminum surfaces through a mysterious unique process. The Artist then uses highly pigmented oil paint to enhance and interpret the shapes, adding layers of personal meaning.

    In this art, it seems that shadowy classical figures and surreal landscapes emerge on reflective metal backgrounds. Next, paint techniques are adopted in order to contrast the reflection, creating an attempt to portray a sense of movement and shadow. The edges of the paintings are meant to expand, in order to invite patrons to engage with both the depicted and real spaces. This, in turn is intended to create a dynamic interaction between them. Each viewing moment is supposed to become a still image of these contorted sensual spaces.
