Cicilie Risåsen works with photography, painting and drawing. The painting practice is influencing the photos and vice versa. The focus is more on abstraction, rythm and monocrome color than details and narrative. She works on several projects at the same time, and each project seams to intersect in one-another at one point or another. The photos (wich are documentary - not staged) are being used as starting point for making new compositions in the form of paintings, artbooks or exibitions. Her background is from Strykejernet Art School, a bachelor in social anthropology from the University of Oslo, personal guidance by Roar Werner Eriksen and Markus Brendmoe, and the mentorshop program at NORD photography. She started the the gallery Midtsundtstad Kunsthall in 2019 where she is also the curator.
