Bio/Anne Katrine Senstad

Anne Katrine Senstad is a Norwegian artist who lives in New York and Oslo. Having spent the formative years in South East Asia, while the developing years were spent in her native Norway, she arrived in New York to study at Parsons School of Design in 1990, where she graduated with a BFA/Fine art of Photography w/Honors.

She has exhibited widely internationally, including the Architectural Museum in Sao Paulo, Transientnyc and Snyder Fine Art in New York, and Galleri JMS in Oslo, Norway, her first major solo show, 2002.

In 1997 Senstad started working with the notion of light and color. She sought through her photography, to investigate and translate to a visual experience - in essence, sensations of the elements, such as light, color and sound.  In photographing pure light sources and their environmental behavioral patterns, she arrests light movement and effect upon spaces. The pure light-scapes she creates, manifests as circular expansive shapes within the perfect square, or in elongated panels of light and color. The series, “Essence of Light and Color” navigates through a monumental pureness and mass of colors, while the series, “ Light and Sound Panels” orchestrates a horizontal landscape of light and sound patterns. Her latest work created in 2004/05 is "The Pink Project", a study on the notion of Pink and Euforia which is based on her one of a kind light installations.She released her artist book " The Norwegians" in 2005, with essays by Gerhard Sander and Thure Erik Lund.

Included are full year artist scholarship and various project grants.
