Gallery Pugliese Levi is showing a work by artist Maibritt Ulvedal Bjelke from Wednesday 31 March to Sunday 4 April 2021. The exhibition series is called one by one, in which one work by one of the gallery’s artists is shown in the gallery window for a few days at a time.

“Like many artists, it is the process which drives me, and here time is an important factor. My collage-paintings are slow, and it is precisely this slowness which mesmerizes me; spending endless moments of time inside the ongoing artwork, absorbed in each colour and tiny detail, yet aiming for that magical moment where I switch from being the maker to being the viewer – then the artist can step back, and the painting simply takes over.”

Maibritt Ulvedal Bjelke, 2020
