The exhibition “En dag Ettermiddag Resten av Dagen” presents three new series by Gerd Tinglum.

“En dag” consists of 12 works for the 12 hours of the day.
“Ettermiddag” consists of 11 works for 11 plants encountered on a walk in October.
“Resten av dagen” is an object composed of discarded paintings.

In Tinglum’s contradictory use of both systematic structure and chance, new surfaces emerge in the interaction between the different layers of paint. Starting from control and systematics, the visual result cannot ultimately be directed.

Tinglum creates striking visual paintings in which the concept and idea play the leading role. She provides the viewer with a title and a concept as an entry point to the works, and our gaze and thoughts move between the visual and the conceptual within the layers of meaning. The paths our thoughts may take, and the experience of the works, transform from what is immediately visible into a poetic exploration and search within and between the layers of color.
