1 INGER JOHANNE GRYTTING (b.1949 in Lofoten,, lives and works in New York) Inger Johanne Grytting s abstract drawings and paintings are the portals or gangways to the core of her inner landscape where narrative elements are reduced to abstract signs. A technique involving repetitive parallel lines has consumed Grytting s form of expression for more than a decade. The line, applied with a system of self-imposed limits, is central to her art. Lines represent traces and extensions of the artist. Each drawing is the result of a meditative process. The artist refers to her own work as recordings : My artworks are like diary entries of psychological states. The process is a probing inwards, where emotions and insights are translated into graphic expressions. (Ref. Curator Charis Gullickson in Grytting s first monographic presentation Extensions that was published in relation to her exhibition at the Northern Art Museum, 2015). In the 1970s, Inger Johanne Grytting moved from Northern to New York, where she studied art and settled as an artist becoming part of a pulsating art community, receiving lasting impulses from the Abstract Expressionist and Minimalist movements. Since then, Grytting has been a crucial link between the American and the Norwegian Art scenes, as became evident in the group exhibition Parallels at Northern Art Museum in The artist s loft on the Bowery in Lower Manhattan has been for many years a meeting point for American and Norwegian artists and writers. Grytting and her husband, Mark Mirsky, are also notable figures in the American literary world, as editors and publishers of the cult periodical Fiction (Ref. Knut Ljøgodt, Director, Northern Art Museum 2015). In April 2016, Inger Johanne Grytting work was featured in The Daily Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv in regards to the acquisition of six of her works by The National Gallery () (part of The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design). Grytting s preliminary exhibition schedule for fall of 2017 includes The Vigeland Museum in Oslo and ART 3 Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. BIOGRAPHY 1949 Born in Svolvaer, Lives and works in New York, NY
