Logan Riley
 Born in Oslo and now working in Stockholm, Turid Ulven captures nature at its most human. Traveling to San Francisco at the age of 18, Ulven has been traveling in her heart ever since. Just like the subjects of her paintings and photography she moves and changes with the seasons, with the shadows and light. Turid Ulven has a way of making nature accessible on more than a physical level- her pictures “Feminine Sunset” brings to light the erotic softness of the Norwegian landscape through reflection and the subdued, almost hidden colours that just a typical glance would over look. In It Takes Two to Tango the viewer gets a sense of art imitating life, nature imitating humanity. The twisted trunk, reminiscent of a hug or loving embraces brings this question to mind- is nature influenced by us, or are we also influenced by nature? The artwork- artwork in all media- of Turid Ulven is our world seen through the eyes of a caring, kind and mature soul. Working on different platforms other than art to raise awareness of the world, and to open the hearts of her peers to a beautiful world that might get over-looked. She brings to us a humane Earth full of lights and shadows, mixed with life and death- a world that is possibly more human than ourselves.
