TONE INDREBØ
1954 NORWAY ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
In her exploration of color, form and structure, Tone Indrebø uses nature as a point of departure to create simple and poetic yet highly complex paintings.
Her artworks almost seem like rooms in themselves, creating interesting meetings between the outside and the inside, between natural elements and
interiors. However, the nature seen in her work is often reduced to its purest form, resulting in an interesting new take on landscapes.
Indrebø’s paintings emanate a light atmosphere. They are often playful and spontaneous in their appearance, though the many layers are a reminder
of Indrebø’s time-consuming and meticulous technique. Both in their making and in their final form, they resemble a kind of meditative experience.
The finished paintings remind us of the figurative form upon which they are based while still being distant enough from their source of inspiration to
create new associations.
Indrebø studied art at the Norwegian National College of Art and Design from 1976 to 1980. And since her debut, her works have been exhibited in
countless group and solo exhibitions, both in Norway and internationally.
