Artist of the day, November 14: Lene Kilde, Norwegian sculptor

Lene Kilde (1981) is a Norwegian sculptor. She creates sculptures inspired by children and their emotions. She finds that children's body language is their purest form of communication. This is visualized by showing very few body parts, usually only hands and feet, which then are placed in proportion to each other with the use of metal mesh. Her intention is to invite the audience to use their own imagination so that they can complete the sculptures and fill in the lines and volume by themselves. The sculptures consist concrete, metal mesh and air.

Lene Kilde completed her Master Degree in Product Design in 2012. The following year she was awarded The Norwegian Arts Council three -year work scholarship for young artists. She  participated at SCOPE Basel for the first time this year with tremendous success. Her sculptures were sold out during the fair. In 2012 Kilde was asked by Norways biggest hospital Ahus, to embellish their premises. In 2014 Lene kilde was an artist in residence in Grenada, where she quickly became inspired by Grenada’s underwater sculpture park. On arrival, Lene totally immersed herself in Grenadian life and culture.
