Artwork title: OCEAN GIRLS
Poster dimensions: 59.4 × 84.1 cm
Original exhibition poster from the United States
Ocean Girls is a painting by Ida Ekblad in which color and form have a pronounced material presence, as though built up through vigorous painting. Ekblad seeks to convey that a painting can also be an object. Her deliberate use of abundant material gives this work a substantial physical weight.

Ida Ekblad is a Norwegian contemporary artist born in 1980. Working primarily in painting, sculpture, installation and photography, she brings an exuberant creativity to exploring relationships between nature and the built environment.
Ekblad's work is visually forceful, filled with vivid colors, strongly defined forms and abundant images, symbols and text. She enjoys working with varied materials, including paint, satin, foam and metal, alongside less conventional materials such as fur and synthetic hair. Their use gives her work visual richness and tension.
As a young artist, Ekblad has already gained considerable recognition in European art circles. Her work has been widely shown at major international art exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale, the Renaissance Art Museum, and the Hyde Park Art Museum. Her work is also held by several internationally renowned museums and private collectors.
Overall, Ekblad is an exceptionally creative and experimental contemporary artist whose work not only has a strong visual impact but also offers viewers a rich visual and emotional experience.
