I lost count of the times I have shared the work of Kristin Vestgård on this blog. So soft, sensitive, delicate, magical.. I'm obsessed!
To me my paintings hold many secrets…and I like it that way. It gives them space to breathe and live their own lives; just like people…they have a sea of secrets too… I believe my paintings are the voice of my silence. I very rarely wish I could buy an oil painting, any painting in fact. I have discovered so many wonderful artists online and off these past four years (yes, happy birthday K&C!) but at times I admit, I feel saturated. Social media is increasingly visual - blogs, pinterest, instagram - posts often reduced to a small collection of images, my own included. It's a relief to turn off the computer sometimes. I appreciate our blank white walls! Kristin Vestgård's work is different though. It calms me, soothes my eyes. Yes, I'd love to be able to buy one of her paintings. Don't miss her new exhibition at Campden Gallery, running 13th - 28th July.

Of Norwegian origin, Kristin Vestgård studied for her degree at Falmouth College of Art. She sold all her paintings in her degree show, and Falmouth College of Art purchasing the biggest painting for their own collection. Stunned with her work, she also got invited to exhibit in galleries in London and Cornwall. Since graduating from there she has exhibited in London on numerous occasions, from the city gallery to the Ted Litchfield Gallery, in her native Norway at the Kihle Gallery in Horten and of course at the Badcocks Gallery in Newlyn, Cornwall, where she held her fourth solo show in July 2004. Kristins exhibitions have always been received with great enthusiasm and her first show at Badcocks was a sell out. Her career as a serious and respected young artist is continuing to grow. Successful exhibitions is enabling Kristin to paint almost everyday. From her studio in Redruth, Treruffe Art Studios, Kristin is creating her world of quirky and poetic figures, shoes and cups and working with the spaces around the figures, telling peculiar stories. The paintings do not demand attention, they occupy their own space with a quiet dignity and beauty. They are sensitive works that tell their own stories and hold their own emotions. cv Personal: Kristin Vestgård Born: 30.05.76 Education: 1997-00 Falmouth College of Arts, BA Hons Fine Arts 1996-97 Oslo Painting and Drawing School 1995-96 Nordfjord Folkhighschool- Painting/Drawing course 1993-96 Horten Highschool Solo exhibitions: Campden Gallery, 10th of November 2006 The Badcocks Gallery August, 2005 The Badcocks Gallery, Newlyn, July 2004 The Badcocks Gallery, Newlyn, August 2003 The Badcocks Gallery, Newlyn, August 2002 Kihle Gallery, Horten, Norway, June 2002 The Badcocks Gallery, Newlyn, June 2002 Group exhibitions: Battersea Affordable Art Fair, 2006 Cadogan Contemporary, London summer 2005 Battersea Art Fair, October 2004 Vitrious Contemporary art, Truro, August 2004 Vitrious Contemporary art, Truro, July 2004 City and Thompsons Gallery, London, April 2004 Battersea Art Fair, October 2003 Badcocks Gallery, Christmas show, December 2002 Battersea Art Fair, London, October 2002 Ted Litchfield Gallery, Cork Street, London, May 2002 Battersea Art Fair, London, October 2001 Ted Litchfield Gallery, Voltaire Chapel, London, September 2001 Chelsea Art Fair, London, April 2001 Ted Litchfield Gallery, London, October 2000 Degree Show, Falmouth College of Arts, June 2000 Collections: Falmouth College of Art Numerous private collections world wide http://kristinvestgard.co.uk
