| Marianne Bratteli | Marianne Brattel (1951) grew up in a post-war era characterized by the lack of an innocent childhood. The emotions and the atmosphere of this period have influenced and coloured her artistic expression. At the same time, her paintings have an open, often humorous side, with an exuberant use of colours as well as vitality, but also melancholy. She is considered one of the most prominent painters of her generation and her work has been acquired by influential museums and institutions. Marianne Bratteli will present some of her new paintings at Kunstbanken. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
