INGRID NILSSON
Ingrid’s work is often gurative, although she is increasingly interested in mark- making for it’s own sake, using print, rollers, drawing and painting with brushes, palette knife and cardboard. Most of the time however, the gure is very much the focus, either real or imagined.
Recently she has been leaning more towards the use of ‘real’ people as
the basis of her portraits; using a contemporary face and transporting them into another historical period as well as using the face as a vehicle for a more imaginary treatment.
‘I love the human face and the challenge that it presents to an artist. Not just to capture
a likeness or mimic life but to suggest a character and a story behind the lines...’
