Lillian Tørlen is a visual artist living and working in Oslo, Norway. She has joined Novooi as a featured artist for our exhibition Above and Below, a part of Oslo Open. Her work is driven by a situational sensitivity, often with a point of departure in human psychology and behaviour.
Making site-specific works, she is interested in how people experience their immediate surroundings. Through sculptures and installations in various materials she invites the viewer to re-evaluate spaces, to pause and consider a chain of events, or to simply contemplate the dialogue happening between the piece and the space.
Some times the pieces are subtle, almost blending into the environment, and not necessarily discovered straight away. Other times they stand out as a contrast, and are impossible to miss.

Brick is a series developed especially for Novooi – initially inspired by the site of exhibition Above and Below. Playing with the geometric and functional shape of the bricks that compose the walls, these pieces are sagging and losing their rigid shape.
