Born 1981, Tønsberg, Norway
Line Gulsett is a promising young painter who works and lives in The Hague, the Netherlands. She finished her education at the KABK (royal academy for visual arts) in 2011. Her work is surprisingly mature in style and gesture for a painter her age. The large-scale paintings are instantly recognizable. She cleverly uses oil paint to suggest fleeting movements and she obscures the faces and features of her painted figures as to emphasize their macabre poetic aesthetic. Besides the ingenious suggestion of movement that signifies her style she creates painted environments that simultaneously seem to be an abstract exploration of paint and a suggestion of a dream landscape. In these landscapes she often takes on a bird's eye view or an otherwise skewed perspective that can make her works drift between figurative and the surreal.
