Trude Viken | Veiled in Pink: Vester Farimagsgade 6, 1606 København V
Forthcoming exhibition
Overview
OTP Copenhagen is delighted to announced ‘Veiled in Pink’ a solo exhibition by Norwegian painter Trude Viken opening at the gallery’s Vester Farimagsgade 6 location on Thursday 24 October 5-7PM.
Featuring a series of new oil paintings, the exhibition explores the facade of personal appearances and societal expectations, along with the complexities, struggles and emotional realities that often remained obscured underneath.
Trude Viken (b. 1969, Lødingen; NO) is a painter who lives and works in Olso, Norway. Viken’s interest in the figure has consistently been informed by a frank and honest recognition of those feelings and experiences that people are often uncomfortable to share with others. Having previously worked as a psychiatric nurse before becoming a full-time artist, Viken’s first-hand understanding of human vulnerability is compounded by an interest in the ways that contemporary culture masks particular feelings and experiences.
