Welcome!

We are a couple of artists who work with different expressions, but share a common commitment to materiality, form and emotion.

Meet the Team

We are Tonje Rebecca Rosenberg and Jan Christer Rosenberg, an artist couple based in Kristiansand in Southern Norway. Although we have different artistic languages, we share a common desire to create space for reflection, presence and emotional depth.

We work both individually and together on selected projects, and see the dialogue between our expressions as a resource. Together we curate and participate in exhibitions where contrasts and connections are allowed to play freely.

Artist

T.R. Rosenberg

Tonje works primarily with mixed media and tactile, layered works that explore memories, identity and silence. She draws inspiration from the decay and reconstruction of nature, and often uses fragments and symbols in her works. Her idiom is quiet, poetic and sensual – with an emphasis on texture, transparency and the unspoken.

Artist

J.C. Rosenberg

Jan works expressively and intuitively with painting and symbolic motifs. His art is characterized by strong colors, contrasts and emotional energy, often inspired by life experiences, paradoxes and injustice in the world. He combines spontaneity with deep thematic roots that are presented in a humorous context.

When the materials speak

– with roughness, heat, weight or cracks –

we experience something real,

something that has not been smoothed over by a screen or filter.

Hva er mixed media?

Mixed media betyr at et kunstverk er laget ved å kombinere flere ulike materialer eller teknikker i ett og samme verk. Kunstneren begrenser seg ikke til ett medium, men utforsker møtet mellom flere.

I moderne kunsthistorie peker man ofte på kubistene på 1910-tallet, særlig Picasso og Braque, som noen av de første til bevisst å blande medier.

Mixed media inviterer til å bruke flere sanser. Ikke bare øyet, men også følelsen av tekstur, lag, dybde og materialiet. Det ferdige verket kan være sammensatt av alt fra naturmaterialer, spray, gull, kull, stein, marmor samt akryl eller oljemaling. Mixed Media har få grenser, og det er ofte nettopp i spillet mellom frihet og begrensning at spennende kunst oppstår.
