Andreas Siqueland

Humanity's relation to the landscape and nature are central elements in the works of Andreas Siqueland. It is a free and open, but rhythmic, dialog he conducts with his surroundings; the forest, the mountains, the ocean. A direct presence - as close as you can get - seems fundamental. He is inside the motive, observing and looking for the essence.

At the core of Line Prip’s artistic practice is her interest in how we are affected by other people and by the context in which we are situated. Human relations are permeated with what we cannot see, and in her spatial works she is materialising the invisible mechanisms that underlie our human existence by translating them into a physical, sensual experience.
