Tyra Tingleff

Born 1984 in Norway, Tyra Tingleff lives and works in Norway and Berlin. Her paintings twist and squeeze the abstract tendencies of the medium. The works never alight on any one reference point; their surfaces and semi-tangible forms are ever restless, locked in an infinite loop, colors and forms seamlessly intertwining and redistributing into a vibrating, ever-expanding universe in whose depth the gaze finds no orientation. Nebulous forms appear from nowhere, breaking through areas of raw, untouched canvas. Built up through these varying layers of application, a cross section of traditions are acknowledged, yet ultimately refuted, as Tingleff strives for an absence of language.
