ARNE SPANGEREID
Arne Spangereid (b1981) is a Norwegian artist who primarily works in oils. He is known for his playful interior scenes where he juxtaposes men in suits with robots and rubber toys.
Spangereid’s style of painting is a fusion of classical methods and contemporary expressions. “Contrasts and paradox attract me . I combine delicate brush techniques with rough tools such as squeegees and rubber spatulas. I enjoy creating contrasts between abstract elements and descriptive passages that ultimately make sense of the rest of the picture. To me this resonates with life itself: out there in the madness there are just a few moments and relationships which give meaning to everything else."
Arne has lived and studied in the United States under Master oil painter Nelson Shanks, in Norway under acclaimed portrait painter Truls Dahl, and in Malta under renowned artist and museum curator Ray Spiteri.
