Line Gulsett

born 1981 in Tønsberg , Norway. Live and work in The Hauge, The Nederlands. Line Gulsett`s work is a reference to both pollution and a perilous path. One could say that Gulsett’s method of combining the figurative and the abstract on one canvas is a dangerous path itself. Especially when none of her pieces seem to offer a satisfying answer to the questions of either representation of reality, or the loss thereof. But the title primarily refers to a bigger threat than that of a representational artistic practice. Many works are an investigation into the erosion of social cohesion. Gulsett feels that from childhood on human contact gradually diminishes, inherently damaged by the com-fortable distances of modern communication.
