André Enger Aas

 

André Enger Aas (b. 1987, Stavern, Norway) is an artist based in Tromsø. He received a bachelor’s degree from The Academy for Contemporary Art in Trondheim and a Master in Fine Arts degree from Tromsø Academy for Contemporary Art in 2015. Since 2017 he has been situated and working at the Loftet Atelierfellesskap at Tromsø Kunstforening.

He works within installation, image and sculpture. Aas works with scavenged, stolen and found material, focusing on these materials’ already inherent representational value. He mixes the familiar with the abstract to build a visual narrative that tells tales which distorts history with fiction, science with spirituality and touches upon universal sensibilities such as loss, love, identity and our past. Aas’ figurative sculptures and installations are composed of a variety of materials and elements, resembling a collage of everyday objects and artifacts.
