Patrik Berg
In residence: July - August 2020
Patrik Berg (1982, Härnosand, Sweden) is an Oslo-based artist who works mainly with drawing and printmaking. Berg is true to the medium of print and interested in its status as a complex artistic practice rather than a method of reproduction. He combines the traditions of Albrecht Dürer and Henry Darger while addressing questions about ecology, ornament, composition and language. Berg earned his BA from the Bergen Academy of Art and Design in 2012 and completed his MFA studies in Medium and Material-Based Art at the Oslo National academy of the Arts in 2015.
During his stay Berg worked extensively in the Artica workshop on work that was later exhibited in his ‘Svalbard Explorer’ exhibition at Galleri Svalbard.
