Galleri Golsa: Linn Pedersen

Linn Pedersen (b. 1982) is a Norwegian artist based in Sortland in the northern part of Norway. Working with analog photography, cyanotype, and sculptural installation, in her portrayals of scenic landscapes, abandoned constructions, and out-of-style consumer goods Pedersen combines documentarist approaches with experimentations of the photographic processes. With an eye for sculptural compositions and material symbols, her works attain a poetic and painterly quality, where emotional projections hold primacy.

Pedersen holds an MFA from Central Saint Martins College in London and a BA from UIB Faculty of Fine Art, Bergen. Recent solo and group exhibitions include “Dagbrudd,” Golsa, Oslo (2023, solo), “Omland,” Golsa, Oslo (2021, solo), “New Visions, Photo Triennal,” Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Akershus (2020), “Plus 1,” Golsa, Oslo (2020), “Ethereal, photographic art from Norway,” Fotografie Forum Frankfurt (2019), Captain’s Cabin, MELK, Oslo (2018, solo), “Pupill,” Overlyssalen, Kunstnerforbundet, Oslo (2017, solo), “Plain Air,” Entrée, Bergen (2015, solo).
