9 Questions to Linne Urbye.

Norwegian artist, living and working in New York City.

What is your art about?

My work method is a relatively intuitive and open-ended process based on studio practice where I usually work on several pieces at once and the paintings inform each other.

Please tell us more about your working process, routine, your studio set up and the way you approach new artworks.

Process is important, and I try to allow room for mistakes that in turn can open up for new possibilities. My paintings are informed by earlier works, patterns, geometry, handwriting and mark-making in general.

Just being in the studio, working.

William James
