Anne Angelshaug an artist from Norway, creates beautiful surreal paintings that evoke a delicate sadness
when viewed.
Through the juzatopositon of humans and nature in dreamlike landscapes, Angelshaug’s artwork
is exploring many themes dealing with the destructive nature of humans.
Born in Oslo, she grew up in a small village at the west coast of Norway with teachers for parents and two
older brothers.
She studied illustration in England at Falmouth University, where she met her future husband.
Her paintings has been exhibited around Norway, Europe, Australia and The United States.
“Again and again, we make bad choices with horrendous consequences for this beautiful planet and this
saddens me more than I can say. There is a lot of this in my work.
Norway is one of the lucky countries where the destruction is not very visible yet.
The nature is still incredibly beautiful and mighty impressive.
This inspires me immensely and plays a huge part in my work.
The actual look of my work has a lot to do with my background as an illustrator. Since the subject matter
that I want to explore and communicate is so dark and melancholic, I like to juxtapose this with a beautiful
fairytale-like look to the image. I want to “draw” the onlooker in and then let them discover that everything
is not as it should be in this “beautiful” place. I love the uneasy pairing of innocence/cute and ominousness.”
Dakota 03
Earlier this year I painted a small version of this, and called it “Dakota” (thanks to @absva for the name;-) But she will not let me be…so now here is yet another version of her “Dakota 03” #bigeyes #hifructose #madeinnorway #beautifulbizarre #juxtapoz #dakotapipeline #savethefjords

“Unfolding”
And there she is done “Unfolding” 40x40cm. (now should I exercise or paint……….hmm, paint always wins!)
REDUCED PRICE BECAUSE OF DAMAGE
My poor “Last resort 02” got a rip in the canvas while on load for a show.
It has been repaired by an expert art restorer, and the damage can not be seen at the front.
But it is still “damaged goods” and I will not sell it for the full price. 
“Outside the touch of time”
So far I have always said, Sorry No! , to requests to do portraits. I have always thought, That´s not my thing/that´s not what I am about.
But when I got a polite question from a family dad if I would consider painting his kids, with complete artistic freedom to do what I wanted, I thought, What the heck, why not!
And I am glad I did! It was fun,and the kids were great models.
So here is

“A message of distress (Rørviknipa)”
Much of my work deals with my feelings and thoughts about the choices humanity takes, the impact it has on nature and life around us, and our future.
Sometimes these greedy choices come to close for comfort.
I grew up close to this fjord (Førdefjorden-painting above).Now the Norwegian government will allow Nordic Mining to remove a mountain in the hunt for rutile, and deposit large parts of mining tailings in a submarine disposal in the fjord.

Førde fjord – a dumping ground for Norway’s mining industry?
