Audun Alvestad (1980) is a Norwegian emerging artist, painter who received his MFA form the Kunsthogskolen in Bergen in 2016, after studying at the Det kongelige Danske Kunstakademi, Copenhagen and receiving his BFA from the Kunsthogskolen I Bergen, Avd Kunstakademiet in 2009. Alvestad's paintings typically centre around "average Joe" types engaged in everyday tasks such as mowing the lawn, ironing shirts, or bathing. He has referenced his interest in exploring society's changing gender roles and social structures as the reason for focusing on this subject. Additionally, he relies on generic types because they provide more space to play with the formal aspects of the painting.
Solo exhibitions include (Upcoming) Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, West Palm Beach, Florida; All This Talk of Getting Old, QB gallery, Oslo, Norway; As If You Had a Choice in the Matter, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London, UK; Priority Lane, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Berlin; Tan Lines, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London;
In 2017 Audun Alvestad received a 3-year working grant for young artist from the Arts Council Norway, Prosjektstøtte, Norwegian association of Artists. In addition, in 2016 Audun Alvestad was granted Statens utstillingsstipend, from the Arts Council Norway, Prosjektstøtte. Alvestad's work can be found in many public and private collections amongst them the Bunker Artspace; the Preuss Collection, the Azman Museum, the Drake and the Lohia Collection.
