Marius Martinussen
Marius Martinussen is a Norwegian contemporary artist (born 1978 in Kristiansand). He is educated at the Einar Granum Art School and the Art Academy in Trondheim and works mainly with painting and lithography.
With over 25 years in the art world and a unique and experimental expression, he plays a significant role within Norwegian contemporary art. Martinussen has received a number of recognized art grants for his artistry and has been selected for both national and international exhibitions such as Kunstnernes Hus's Autumn Exhibition (2004 and 2011) and the International Billboard Painting Festival, Viborg, Denmark (2012).
Through his paintings, Martinussen gives us a sensational and at first glance abstract form that can quickly become figurative. This can be remembered on street lights, graffiti or old apostate and scratched walls. Vibrant use of colour, organic shapes and the use of layers take us to contrasts in the metropolitan landscape. Thus, his expression can be seen as personal and storytelling as much as abstractly filled with emotion.
The colors that dominate his works, such as magenta and turquoise, are often contrasted against a toned down and gray background and often use broad brushstrokes against a soft and detailed background. With a rich and varied painting technique, he creates a depth in his works that catches the eye.
Martinussen's contrasting use of color can be recalled in some of Damien Hirst's earlier colorful paintings such as "Beautiful, amore, gasp, eyes going into the top of the head and fluttering painting", 1997 or can be associated with Marianne Heske's La Vie En Rose , 2017. It is not only his use of colour, but also methods such as airbrush painting that show that he allows himself to be inspired by the pop art movement.
His works have been purchased by The Norwegian Cultural Council, Statoilhydro, Ernst & Young, Handelsbanken and as a wedding present from Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Crown Prince Haakon.
