Ida Ekblad

Ida Ekblad is a Norwegian artist known for her multidisciplinary approach to art, which includes painting, sculpture, installations, performance, and poetry.

Ekblad's work is characterized by a playful and experimental approach to materials, as well as an interest in the relationship between art and everyday life. She often uses found or repurposed objects in her sculptures, such as car parts, plastic bags, and household items, which she combines with more traditional art materials like paint, metal, and wood.

Her paintings are also a significant part of her oeuvre, featuring vibrant colors and dynamic compositions that evoke a sense of movement and energy. Ekblad has exhibited her work extensively in Europe and the United States, including at institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Kunsthaus Zurich, and the Serpentine Gallery in London.

In addition to her visual art practice, Ekblad is also a poet and musician, often incorporating her writing and music into her performances and installations. Her work is known for its humor, irreverence, and wit, challenging traditional notions of beauty and art-making.
