From Dusk to Dawn takes a literal approach to Gunvor & Sebastian’s respective ways of working. Gunvor works by day, Sebastian by night. In the exhibition space their practices meet in this transition - exploring the different conditions that shape their artistic process.

Both Gunvor and Sebastian draw inspiration from their surroundings, though in distinct yet overlapping ways. Gunvor explores love between humans and nature through wooden sculptures and colorful paintings, while Sebastian shows dark paintings only visible through the light of the viewer’s mobile phone.

Gunvor Nervold Antonsen was educated at Forsøksgymnaset in Oslo, Usko-Ayar Escuela de Pintura Amazónica in Peru, the Bergen Academy of Art and Design, Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee, and the University of Oslo. She has exhibited at, among others, Kunstnernes Hus, Trondheim Kunstmuseum, Kunstnerforbundet, Kunsthall Stavanger, Lillehammer Kunstmuseum, and Bomuldsfabriken Kunsthall.

Born in London in 1975, Oslo-based Sebastian Helling received his BA from the London College of Printing in 2001 and went on to receive an MFA from the Royal College of Art two years later. In 2011 he received an MA from Statens Kunstakademi in Oslo. He has exhibited at, among others, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery in London, QB Gallery, Blomqvist, and Trafo Kunsthall in Norway, and Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles.

The exhibition is curated by Luca Sørheim and Nora Stangebye.
