KARSTEN KROGH-HANSEN
Karsten Krogh-Hansen (b. 1997, Oslo, Norway; based in Antwerp, Belgium) is a visual artist working primarily in painting. He holds an MFA in visual arts from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp. Krogh-Hansen's work explores the evolving role of imagery in contemporary culture, shaped by digital technology, popular culture, and nostalgia. He often transforms iconographic elements that are familiar to us all, into something more intimate and psychological. He actively archives digital imagery, collecting fragments from the vast stream of media. This process has become an integral part of his practice, shaping the way he engages with painting. Beyond imagery, his work reflects a continued interest in the history and materiality of painting.
Recent solo and group exhibitions include those at de boer, Los Angeles, US; Forbidden City, Antwerp, BE; Christian Torp Kunsthandel, Oslo, NO; Nosbaum Reding Gallery, Brussels, BE.
