Jan Groth (1938-2022, Oslo) lived and worked in Oslo and Dagali, Norway. Groth was a leading artist of his generation in Scandinavia, with numerous exhibitions in museums and institutions throughout the world. Groth has exclusively and continuously explored the relationship between line and picture plane in drawings executed with crayon on paper, and also in monumental tapestries made in collaboration with Benedikte Groth in Copenhagen. Since the late 1980s he has also brought the line into three-dimensional space with bronze sculptures spanning the intimate scale of the drawings, to the monumentality of public works. His artistic idiom can be described as restrained expressionism, with a profound sensibility wherein the line's seemingly seismographic recordings appear to visualize nuances and energies registered from within.
