Cathrine Alice Liberg

In residence: March - June 2024

Cathrine Alice Liberg (b. 1988) is a Norwegian-Singaporean artist and printmaker working in a variety of techniques, including lithography, photogravure, cyanotype, etching and mezzotint. Her art revolves mainly around the family portrait, where she contemplates the stories that were lost through her family’s migration, and how descendants can never become reliable narrators of their ancestors’ lives. She is also interested in how our understanding of foreign lands and cultures become infused with misinterpretations and fantasies – drawing much inspiration from her own upbringing in a mixed European and Asian household.

Liberg received her MFA in Medium- and Material Based Art from the Oslo National Academy of Arts in 2019. She is the recipient of several printmaking awards, including the 2019 Norwegian Printmakers Fund’s Printmaking Award at the National Art Exhibition (Høstutstillingen) and the 2019 KoMASK European Masters Printmaking Award in Antwerp, Belgium. She has previously been nominated for the Queen Sonja Print Award (2022), and twice nominated for the QSPA Inspirational Award (2017 and 2020). Her artwork has been shown both in Norway and abroad, most recently at the International Biennial Print Exhibit: R.O.C. in Taichung, Taiwan and the 1st International Triennial of Portrait in Knin, Croatia. She currently lives and works in Oslo.
