NA Meets: Martine Poppe, artist
Martine Poppe has lived in London – while retaining a studio in Oslo – since she arrived to study at the Slade School of Fine Art, some 14 years ago. Today, her practice incorporates photography, painting, textiles and sculpture, which she uses – and combines – to explore various colour relations.
Poppe’s new solo exhibition, A Piece of Me, opens at Kristin Hjellegjerde’s London Bridge space on 8 October. With its focus on air and air quality, the show delivers a series of paintings informed by cloudscapes, including an immersive installation that the artist describes as a “cloud museum”. Norwegian Arts spoke to Poppe about autobiographical painting, pale palettes and being inspired by Joni Mitchell.
