Magne Furuholmen is a renowned Norwegian visual artist, musician / composer and poet. Furuholmen started his professional visual practice in 1989, and works within a wide range of mediums, with printmaking and sculpture as core parts of his extensive oevre. Furuholmen’s subject matter draws inspiration from from literature and language, often with self-written text and autobiographical elements present, as well as references to historical events and art history. Latin and the English language are central components. With a strong and poetic visual language, the artist works in a balance of fields of color and sharp lines, with juxtaposed words and statements handwritten or in characteristic stylized fonts. He often makes series of works, always centred around a clear conceptual starting point.
