Anders Holen (b. 1986, Skien, Norway)
Anders Holen is a Norwegian sculptor and installation artist who lives and works in Oslo. He earned his BFA from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 2010. Holen is acclaimed for exploring the concept of object agency—the idea that inanimate forms can act and shape meaning—and often uses a cumulative casting process to weave objects into unified, almost living compositions. His work has been exhibited at venues such as Kunsthall Oslo, Astrup Fearnley Museum, Vigeland Museum, Helper Projects (NY), and Gyldenpris Kunsthall (Bergen).
The two works featured at Enter Art Fair form part of Holen’s ongoing series of Stilleben—modern still lifes made from UV resin, aluminium heatsinks, and POM (plastic) frames. Each circular piece places sculptural motifs—forces of nature, figures, or ruins—within a radial grid of heatsink fins. The heatsinks, industrial cooling components, intrude into the resin forms, both fragmenting and containing them. This interplay highlights the tension between the organic and the mechanical, and invites the viewer to consider how materials and objects possess their own shaping force.
These works extend Holen’s interest in the still life genre—taking familiar arrangements and reconfiguring them as layered, spatial sculptures that challenge hierarchy and time

Charlie Roberts (b. 1983, Kansas, USA; lives and works in Oslo)
Charlie Roberts (b. 1983, Kansas, USA) is an internationally acclaimed artist whose work blends painting and sculpture into surreal narratives marked by elongated figures, playful distortions, and a mix of pop culture, art history, and everyday life. Educated at Kansas University and the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, he has since exhibited in over 40 solo shows worldwide, including at Golsa in Oslo, Woaw Gallery in Hong Kong, Nino Mier Gallery in Brussels, Anna Zorina Gallery in Los Angeles, and most recently Palo Gallery in New York. Now based in Oslo, Roberts draws on both his American roots and Scandinavian surroundings, creating works that transform domestic scenes, social rituals, and landscapes into witty, dreamlike commentaries on the contradictions of contemporary society.
At Enter Art Fair, Roberts presents four new panel paintings housed in carved frames made from repurposed freight boxes, where sculpture and painting converge. Within these works, clocks appear in unexpected places, while vegetables replace human heads, adding humor and strangeness to his surreal narratives. Alongside these, a selection of watercolors explores similar themes with a lighter, more immediate touch, extending Roberts’ playful yet uncanny examination of contemporary life.

Christer Glein (b. 1984, Trondheim; lives and works in Oslo)
Christer Glein is a methodical and evolving painter, known for reinventing his visual language from one series to the next. Guided by a strict, internal set of rules, he deliberately abandons previous palettes, motifs, and techniques in order to move his practice forward. What remains consistent is his interest in perception, layering, and the shifting possibilities of painting itself.
Glein’s early work drew on staged photographic references before moving toward a collage-inspired aesthetic, where illusionistic contrasts and juxtapositions created a sense of visual cutting. More recently, he adopted lighter palettes and a grainier, pointillistic touch, allowing the works to develop more intuitively.
At Enter Art Fair, Glein presents new works from The Swimmer, a series that marks a decisive shift. Here, the collage grid and layered illusions give way to unified compositions centered on single figures in imagined landscapes. The brushwork is more direct, the surfaces more exposed, and color assumes a heightened expressive role. The title recalls John Cheever’s short story The Swimmer, a tale of transformation, hidden emotion, and the fragile line between heroism and vulnerability—an apt metaphor for Glein’s own ongoing journey as a painter.

Gunvor Nervold Antonsen (b. 1974, Oslo; lives and works in Rollag, Numedal)
Gunvor Nervold Antonsen is a Norwegian artist whose work spans textiles, wood sculpture, painting, sound, text, and found objects. Educated at the Bergen Academy of Art and Design, Berlin’s Weissensee School of Art, and the University of Oslo, she creates experimental and expressive compositions that probe themes of identity, vulnerability, and our relationship to nature. Her practice is grounded in materiality—whether through rough chainsaw-carved figures, monumental textile montages, or layered assemblages—each work carries visible traces of process, reflecting adaptability and the constant cycle of transformation.
At Enter Antonsen presents the two sculptures titled En av dem, 2019, in pine and poplar, powerfully merge materiality with meaning. The sculptures—marked by rough chainsaw carving and visible scars—are more than representations: they are embodiments of adaptability, human strength, and ongoing process. Whether standing in gallery skylight halls or emerging slowly into the natural landscape, her sculptures challenge and invite us to reflect on what it means to be present, wounded, and ever-evolving.

Julius Karoubi (b. 1998, Oslo; lives and works in Oslo)
Julius Karoubi is an emerging artist whose practice pushes the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and architecture, with mosaic as his primary medium. He reclaims materials—tiles sourced from dumpsters, online marketplaces, and renovation projects—combining them with Italian glass to create works that carry both personal and collective histories. His approach is rooted in material exploration but also functions as commentary on cycles of consumption, destruction, and rebuilding that define contemporary life. Alongside his gallery practice, he is also engaged in public art, with an upcoming major commission for the Norwegian Embassy in Nairobi.
At Enter Art Fair, Karoubi presents a series of new small mosaics that continue this investigation. These works take shape as layered assemblages, where fragments of the everyday—billboards, Tintin albums, sudoku pages, couture magazines, scraps of fabric, flowers, or the shimmer of a wet marble floor—return as shifting memories. They are not literal reproductions, but reimagined impressions that slip between recollection and invention. Karoubi’s mosaics function like visual diaries: durable yet fragmented surfaces where personal memory, mass culture, and architectural form collide.

Linn Pedersen (b. 1982, Sortland; lives and works in Kristiansand and Sortland)
Linn Pedersen is a photographer and artist whose practice merges the autobiographical with the sculptural and poetic. Working primarily with analog photography, she often captures moments where personal memory and physical environment collide, creating images that feel both intimate and universal. Pedersen’s work has long been concerned with transition—between presence and absence, permanence and fragility—and her images often carry traces of loss, renewal, and the passage of time. At the same time, her practice is marked by a material awareness: the way light, weather, or atmosphere can shift an ordinary scene into something charged with mystery and meaning.
At Enter Art Fair, Pedersen presents two works rooted in personal experience. Bullseye captures the old outhouse outside her family home in northern Norway, shrouded in the mysterious summer sea fog that forms when warm air meets the cold ocean. Once used as a “bar corner” with darts, the structure was later torn away by a storm and hurled into a neighbor’s house, leaving only absence behind. Three Chords and the Truth was taken on a walk through her childhood neighborhood shortly before the birth of her third daughter, a moment heightened by hormones and the raw intuition of the body. Both works channel a primal sense of presence—where place, memory, and instinct intertwine.

Mette Tronvoll (b. 1965, Trondheim; lives and works in Numedal and Oslo)
Mette Tronvoll is one of Norway’s most prominent contemporary photographers, celebrated for her insightful, analog color portraits and landscapes. In early 2025, she held the exhibition “Tid”—her first museum solo in Norway in over a decade—at the newly opened Kunstsilo in Kristiansand. The exhibition spanned nearly 90 works and explored themes of time, memory, human presence, and our timeless connection to nature through both new coastal series and a selection of earlier portrait work.
At Enter Art Fair, Tronvoll presents a work from her series Rena 006 (2006), made inside the Norwegian Army’s Special Operations Commando at Rena Leir in Østerdalen—one of Europe’s most modern military camps. Normally a closed and highly restricted environment, Tronvoll was granted rare access to photograph elite soldiers in full combat gear. Masked and in uniforms tailored to specific operations, the figures appear both anonymous and deeply individualized, their equipment seeming like extensions of their own bodies. The portraits hold a tension between the surface of military identity—politically charged, impenetrable—and the suggestion of the vulnerable individual beneath. It is in this gap, between the exterior mask and interior subject, that Tronvoll’s work unfolds.

Sophie Larrimore (b. 1980, Maryland; lives and works in Brooklyn, New York)
Sophie Larrimore creates paintings and works on paper that reimagine traditional genres—animal, nude, and landscape—through a personal and highly stylized lens. Drawing inspiration from medieval tapestries, Indian and Persian miniatures, Byzantine icons, and early American folk art, her work balances formal repetition and flat planes of color with a sense of rhythm and intimacy. Canine and human figures appear throughout her practice, at once playful and devotional, embedded within patterned worlds that evoke timelessness.
At Enter Art Fair, Larrimore presents three works that each combine canine figures with humanlike forms. Green lawns (2025), a painting set in an artist-carved frame, depicts an almost mythical tableau where figures and animals converge. Window shoppers (2025), a watercolor, gathers elongated bodies in overlapping washes of color, their gestures caught between everyday observation and dreamlike procession. Breakfast (2025), a pen drawing, pares her imagery down to delicate line, suggesting the same cast of characters in their most essential form. Seen together, the works affirm Larrimore’s ability to move between mediums while sustaining her distinctive, symbolic universe.

Sverre Bjertnæs (b. 1976, Trondheim; lives and works in Oslo)
Sverre Bjertnæs is one of Norway’s leading contemporary painters, known for weaving together cultural references and personal narratives. His recent works continue his exploration of fragmented painting, where meaning emerges from both imagery and structure. In this new series, the fragmentation extends to the canvas itself: each work is built from multiple smaller panels that form unexpected constellations. Between these parts, fractured stories unfold—through repeated names, historical figures, or passages from literature.
At Enter Art Fair, Bjertnæs presents Sebastian, a more intimate work within this series. The piece takes its title from Saint Sebastian, the early Christian martyr who survived a brutal execution attempt and has come to symbolize endurance, courage, and faith. With its layered palette and collaged surface, Sebastian embodies Bjertnæs’s interest in painting as a space of accumulation—where personal reflection and cultural history are brought together as fragments of a larger whole.

Trude Viken (b. 1969, Lødingen; lives and works in Oslo)
Trude Viken creates raw, psychological portraits that explore the complexities of human emotion. Growing up in a nautical town in northern Norway, she was drawn to art early, but societal expectations led her into healthcare work instead. Her years as a nurse’s aide continue to echo in her paintings—through the use of crosses, uniform-like references, and a deep attention to the inner lives and roles of women. After decades of balancing family life and art-making in private, Viken dedicated herself fully to painting around 2010. She was discovered through Instagram and had her breakthrough in 2018, launching a career that has since seen her works shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally.
At Enter Art Fair, Viken presents Night Hands I–III. The title refers to Night Studio, the memoir by Philip Guston’s daughter, Musa Mayer, and the works directly engage with Guston’s esthetics while expanding Viken’s own visual language. Against monochromatic backgrounds, her figures confront the viewer with a disarming mix of intensity and vulnerability. Their exaggerated features and gestural brushwork resonate with the work of George Condo and, further back, Picasso, while remaining unmistakably her own.

Yves Scherer (b. 1987, Solothurn, Switzerland; lives and works in New York)
Yves Scherer creates sculptures, paintings, and installations that fuse humor, tenderness, and optimism. His work often oscillates between reflective and exuberant modes—serene sculptural figures in stone or bronze set against riotous, colorful paintings—but beneath these shifts runs a consistent belief in art’s capacity to generate joy and resilience. Scherer has described optimism itself as his “radical gesture”: a deliberate turning toward beauty, action, and hope at a time when critique and cynicism dominate the cultural sphere.
At Enter Art Fair, Scherer presents three new works that embody this outlook. Goat, a bronze figure with a dandelion, stares out with a posture caught between innocence and mischief, as if caught in an act or lost in reverie. Doggie, a polished bronze of a dog mid-urination, transforms a banal everyday moment into a humorous yet carefully crafted sculpture, balancing play with classical form. Sunshine, a flower painting, extends these ideas into color and surface, radiating warmth and vitality. Together, the works highlight Scherer’s conviction that art, like a dandelion sprouting from a ruin, can serve as a small but potent act of resilience—protective, life-affirming, and quietly radical.
