Stein Rønning
Stein Rønning (b. 1953) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. He received his artistic education from the Bergen Academy of Art and Design, and at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art. After nearly three decades of teaching and several professorships, Rønning has exhibited widely in recent years. In his work he
pursues an interest in combining painting, photography and object. His c-prints seem to camouflage as painted surfaces and the finely tuned nuances among the works themselves command a heightened sense of attention in the viewer, as well as a calibration of the exhibition space. Rønning employs a similar complex and conceptual approach to his long-standing series of bronze sculptures.
