Bio
Christian Berg Gravningen (b. 1989) belongs to the younger generation of painters who are revitalizing painting as a means of expression. In his expressive and direct works, he draws inspiration from his immediate surroundings, experiences, and memories. These may include flower bouquets, apartment buildings, winter landscapes, portraits, or images from film and photography. Everything is rendered in a free and unpretentious manner, marked by an observant presence.

Gravningen has participated in a number of group exhibitions such as Still life # 2 at QB Gallery, Aulie Nå and Borgen Museum. Gravningens work has also been shown at Hovedøya Kunstsal and LNM.
