GEIR YTTERVIK

Geir Yttervik (b.1955) is a Norwegian painter located in Lunner. He graduated from The National College of Art and Design in 1978, and from The Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts in 1982. His paintings combine elements form pop-culture, news reports, movies, literature, art history and his own photo album. The subject matter range from seemingly trivial situations, to intense plot driven snapshots, however sharing the same uncanny backdrop as the perspective lines are drawn to something unseen, suggesting more to the story outside of the frame. Using traumas from his past, Yttervik is processing and observing elements from dramatic scenes. 

Yttervik is represented in the collections of the The National Museum, Arts and Culture Norway, Astrup Fearnley Museum, Statoil Art Collection, The Norwegian Bank and The Southern Norway Art Collection.
