Solo-tentoonstelling met Michael O’Donnell (Noorwegen).

Michael O’Donnell (1950) studied at the Royal College of Art in London and  has lived in Norway since 1977. He works with sculptural installation, which utilizes a range of materials, photography, text and light. O’Donnell is associated with a generation of British sculptors who in the eighties established a new approach to sculpture.

The use of materials is one of O’Donnell’s strengths. He mixes the permanence and tradition of granite with fabricated and transitional materials such as foam rubber and rusting steel plates. He casts cement in modules, and mixes marble and rust, which are cast together to be chiseled and polished. O’Donnell’s artistic practice are aspects of playfulness and variation. He plays with the way our society uses symbols. He likes, in his distanced and ironic way, to disturb our fixed attitudes.

O’Donnell has had a number of international solo exhibitions and published a series of books, which gives a deeper insight to his artistic practice. He has carried out a several of large-scale public commissions in Norway and is currently Professor at the Academy of Fine Art in Oslo.
