EP 30 : Art 2 HeArt : Marit Geraldine Bostad, Art Seeking Soul, From Norway to New York, Hope Island & AAF London Cover Girl.

Today on Art Seeker Stories podcast, I have an Art 2 HeArt with Marit Geraldine Bostad, an abstract artist from Horten, Norway. Her work investigates the themes that are central to her artistic research, the inner psyche, memories and human interaction.

  Marit Geraldine's a colourist and blends her colours by pouring paint directly onto the canvas using a variety of tools, seldom using the paintbrush - to create diverse, versatile effects with broad expressive strokes. She explores the Nordic Colour tradition in a bold new direction, blending tone to tone pastels with sparks of fluorescent, manifesting her own personal psychic state onto the canvas. Her expression sets the scene for the audience to bring their own meaning to her work.

 In this episode, we talk about art fairs, the Other Art Fair where I met her and The Affordable Art Fair opening this week, where her art has become the image for their promotion, on busses, posters, underground and magazines. We discuss how an artist residency in New York gave her a valuable insight and self-study of her work and herself.  We talk of her stunning exhibition ‘Hope Island’ which inspired my original podcast concept and how she has kick started me in to creating, beyond my dreams.

 The Affordable Art Fair runs 4-8th May @affordableartfairuk
