Gerd Tinglum

Painting, Editions

Gerd Tinglum (b.1951, Trøndelag) was educated as a visual artist at the Fachhochschule für Gestaltung Hamburg (1969–72), Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg (1975–77), Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts (1977–80) and Tokyo University of Fine Arts (1980–82). She was a professor of painting at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts from 1996 to 2009, and then at the Bergen Academy of Art and Design beginning in 2012, before becoming the principal there in 2014. Tinglum is regarded as a pioneer within the Norwegian conceptual art movement, and several of her works were included in the exhibition Stille revolt: Norsk prosess- og konseptkunst på 70- og 80-tallet at the Museum of Contemporary Art in 2016. Tinglum works with diverse mediums like painting, drawing, video, photography, sound, and textile, and pragmatically resolves what materials her ideas are realized through. She has a particular interest for pure colors, and has throughout the years developed a personal color alphabet, where each color has a particular denotation.

Tinglums works can be found in numerous private and public collections, amongst others The National Museum, Oslo , Trondheim Art Museum, Lillehammer Art Museum, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, KODE Art Museum, Oslo City Councils Art Collection and Norwegian Culture Council.
