Camilla and Jan Warholm

An exhibition of artworks in iron, steel, glass and stone by Norwegian artists Camilla and Jan Warholm. November 30 - January 11, 2007. Opening reception Thursday, November 30th, 6-8 pm.

Images in time and sculptures from the ocean. A journey through space and time.

Like the fish in the sea,
our thoughts soar freely in their element.
The flow of our thoughts is limited by learned concepts.
Beyond these concepts lie new,
and yet undiscovered truths.
What defines time?
What defines space?
What defines nothingness?

Perhaps this exhibition can stimulate the fantasy to see things from different points of view. A journey beyond the established.

Camilla and Jan Warholm live in Stavern, which is the smallest city in Norway. It lies next to the Oslo Fjord. Jan and Camilla have been married for twenty-eight years, and for the last fifteen they have created different works of art working side by side. Most of these works are made from iron, but they also use glass, wood, and stone in their creations. Jan receives his inspiration from the ocean, and uses organic forms in his work. Camilla uses simple, clean lines, which are elegantly expressive.

"We shape our iron in an untraditional way. Unlike the blacksmith, we form the iron without heating it. After the welding process we transform the material into many different shapes. These include candleholders, furniture, sculptures and pictures. One of the most prominent works we have done was for the American Cruise Liner, Radison’s Seven Seas Voyager. We have also done works for schools, hotels, and churches. Our last exclusive work was for the Torp International Airport, in Sandefjord, Norway. The title of this work is “The Sky is the Limit”. We also use this as our motto, because there are no limits as to what you can make from these fantastic materials."
