CHART

For CHART 2023 Isca Gallery presents a series of new works by the artist-duo Ida Madsen Følling and Markus Stensrud (NO). Følling’s large, flowing and vibrantly colored, drawings are combined with the stark whiteness of Steinrud’s sculptural plaster pieces to create visually arresting compositions. The plaster casted shapes, such as hands and feet, appear as solid grounded elements and a frame of support to the undulating color saturated drawings.

Ida Madsen Følling and Markus Li Stensrud (NO)

In works and installations that mix elements from many different periods and areas of thematic interest, from the everyday to the sublime, artist-duo Ida Madsen Følling and Markus Li Stensrud divide their work between Ida’s painting and drawing practice, and Markus’s sculptural practice. Art history and the private sphere are both used as starting points for examinations into existential, ideological and contemporary issues.

Parallel to their individual studio practices, artist couple Ida Madsen Følling and Markus Li Stensrud’s duo-practice has produced a series of exhibitions and public commissions, such as DOMESTISISME at Podium, Oslo, in 2021 and the group show A Collective Chaosmos at Kunsthall Oslo in 2020. They live and work in Oslo.
