Karl Norin

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— About
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

In his truly unique process, Karl vacuum-presses synthetic fur against glass in a resin cast. The result is an object-image, defined as a painting but made using a sculptural technique. It doesn’t represent anything other than itself yet our eyes want to see something in the colored abyss. Karl also works in other mediums such as video, sculpture and landscape art.

Karl Norin b. 1982 Fjällbacka, Sweden. Lives and works in Stockholm. Karl holds an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Solo shows include Karl Norin at Market Art Fair, Stockholm, Sweden (2022); Justitia at Belenius, Stockholm (2018) and Soosh Soosh… at Bill Brady, Miami, USA (2015). Group shows include Downtown Issues II at ISSUES, Stockholm (2023); Downtown Issues at ISSUES, Stockholm (2021) ISSUES #4 at ISSUES, Stockholm (2017), Malmö Sessions with Carl Kostyál, Malmö, Sweden (2019); Friends in Need (2016) and Meet Your Maker (2014) at Carl Kostyál, Stockholm and Swedish Art: Now! at Sven-Harrys konstmuseum, Stockholm (2016).
