Ragnhild Nes (b. 1993) is a visual artist from Norway working primarily with the medium of painting. Through her choice of abstraction, which she translates through painting, sculpture, text and installation, she makes the world vanish into stylized fragments. Similarly, to words, her painting practice involves superimposed images that float on each other without convergence. They have been deprived of essence and objects have disappeared, but they turn into streaks, illuminated surfaces, stylized landscapes, in which colour acquires a greater expressive and chromatic force.  

Ragnhild Nes出生与1993年，是挪威当代最炙手可热的艺术家之一。借由她所选择的抽象手法，并通过绘画、雕塑、文本和装置艺术加以诠释，她使整个世界消隐为风格化的碎片。与此同时，她的绘画作品包含相互叠加却互不融合的图像。这些图像的本质已被剥离，物体已然消失，然而它们化作条纹、发光的表面、风格化的景观，在其中色彩获得了更强的表现力和色彩张力。

Nes has a strong understanding of how light and her given surroundings effect her artistic process, living in a country like Norway, where the quality of light shifts so drastically throughout the year. Through her gaze she sees shape and objects, driven by communicating them in compositions on the canvas, but also taking a shape and color out of the canvas and creating it into sculptural objects. Poetry is a big inspiration where she often writes down the set intention for an artwork on the blank surface, to grasp a glimpse of time that is then recreated in color and form. A line or a brushstroke communicates what she wishes to say. «I don’t paint what I see, but what I saw», Edvard Munch. Nes finds great inspiration from Munch’s art and the way he created a painting. Among other, by how the surroundings become a physical part of his artworks, by painting them outside. Nes artistic practice blurs the lines between memories,  art historical references and present time. In 2022 she had her first solo show in Italy, at SARP Gallery, in 2024 she was part of exhibitions in Denmark, Portugal and a solo show at Kösk Gallery in Norway. She made the 30 under 30 list in the magazine Subjekt, 2023 and has received great demand for her work in Norway.

作为出生和生活在挪威这样四季光线变化极为显著的国家艺术家，Nes深刻理解光线及其周围环境对她艺术创作过程的影响。通过她独特的视角，她首先捕捉到不同的形状与物体，并将这些元素转化为画布上的作品，并将用色彩赋予这些形状不同的生命力。诗歌是她重要的灵感源泉，她总是在作品的空白处写下当时有感而发的诗句，以捕捉稍纵即逝的时光，然后再用色彩与形状将其呈现在画布上。爱德华·蒙克的这句话可以精准地表达她的创作过程：“我不画我看到的东西，我画我所见之物。”Nes从爱德华·蒙克的艺术和他的创作方式中汲取了很多灵感，特别是如何让周围环境真切的融入到自己的艺术作品这一方面。

Nes的艺术创作打破了记忆、历史和当下的界线。在2022年，她于意大利SARP画廊举办了个人展览；2024年，她参与了丹麦和葡萄牙等地的展览，并在挪威Kosk画廊举行个人展览。此外，她还入选《Subjekt》杂志“30岁以下30人”名单，并因其作品在挪威获得高度评价。是挪威最有潜力的年轻艺术家之一。
