about
Ingrid Lønningdal is a visual artist based in Lier, Norway. In her practice she seeks to provide an understanding of the spaces we inhabit, often by using architecture as a starting material. Her projects deal with how we relate to our surroundings, and she is keenly interested in spatiality and colour, urban renewal and architecture. The works are materialised trough painting, drawing, photography, text, and textile. They are drawn on paper, published as books, painted directly on walls or take shape as sculpture.
