Aksel Ree (b.1993) holds a degree in Interior Architecture from the National Academy of the Arts in Oslo.

In his marble reliefs, Ree fragments the human body as a reflection over the material and its ability to replicate skin. His work exposes the most intimate and vulnerable parts of the human body, mixing both contemporary and classical styles. With its delicate ornamentation, his works balances beautifully on the lines of kitsch and banal, while simultaneously drawing references to art history and androgyny.

Working in marble, Ree describes, is the most intimate artistic practice as it requires the focus of the entire body and mind.
