Nunu Fine Art Taipei's Project Space is pleased to announce "We Are in It Together," an exhibition of oil paintings by Norwegian artist Siri Kollandsrud. Siri Kollandsrud's artistic process is fueled by automatism, as she explores and converses with the materials on the canvas. With unrestrained passion, she pours her emotions onto the canvas, layer by layer, creating mental landscapes. Colors, rhythm, and texture complement one another, forming abstract configurations that evoke emotions and wonderment and recall the Cobra art movement and Art Informel. 

Thus, the artist ponders—and invites us to consider—a fundamental question: What can a painting do? As Kollandsrud explains, “the title is a reference to our predicament, the war, and the wars between, and within each of us. The destruction, despair, hope, and resolve all together, all at once.... We are here together, in this one world. One nature. The paintings can be a mental landscape of contemplative matter, a form of research creating its own primary source in this world.”
