Hanne Tyrmi (NO)
Hanne Tyrmi has always expressed herself through different materials. Hand and mind are in constant dialogue. By using and processing materials such as lead, steel, bronze, felt and cardboard, the Tyrmi conveys basic human experiences and gives them a physical and tactile form. The artist wants to explore the vulnerability that characterizes both society and the individual, an experience of barriers and loss, power and powerlessness. Tyrmi uses ideas of the body – as social and political reality – as a pivotal point in her work.
Hanne Tyrmi (b. 1954) lives and works in Oslo but has for lived and worked in Berlin, Brasil, Delhi, Johannesburg and Paris. Amongst others, she has done solo shows at the Museu de Arte Moderna in Sao Paulo, Henie Onstad Art Center, Haugar Art Museum, Kunstnerforbudnet, Kunstnernes Hus and Van Etten.
