Works by Line Marsdal
Line Marsdal has a distinctive urban expression in her work. The rough style gives associations to worn brick walls and the way the people are presented, states a focus of seeing
from the outside in. Either in to other people's lives, or in time in to their own memories. Or in to the future.
The inspiration often comes from details and systems in urban environments, herd mentality and the unwritten rules of acceptance.
And everyday life. With a love for unusual combinations and contrasts.
Marsdal often introduce you to the people in her work seen from the side or from the back. This draws focus to the storytelling and the emotion of the work, without letting you read the faces. The title is the clue, the rest is up to you to fill inn.
