Ane Mette Hol

This work is part of the exhibition 'Ane Mette Hol & Fredrik Værslev' at OSL contemporary, 2026. It is from Hol's series 'Drawing Internet', consisting of 18 meticulous, hand-drawn reproductions of screenshots taken from her own website. It was previously presented at Hol's solo exhibition 'Mot utsiden / innsiden’ at Stormen kunst/dájdda in Bodø, Norway. Ane Mette Hol (b. 1979, Bodø, Norway) lives and works in Oslo. Educated at the National Academy of the Arts and Stockholm University College of Arts, Crafts and Design. Hol works conceptually with drawing and investigates the relationship between the original and the reproduction. At first encounter, the works appear as readymades, seemingly indistinguishable from industrially produced objects. Hol, however, creates two and three-dimensional drawings that reproduce the texture, material and tactility of objects. Her reproductions are carried out so skilfully that beholders must take a closer look to discover that they are drawn by hand. Hol has exhibited widely in Norway and internationally at institutions such as Mumok, Vienna; La Kunsthalle Mulhouse; Städtische Galerie, Delmenhorst, Trondheim kunstmuseum, Trondheim; Galerie im Taxispalais, Innsbruck; Kunstmuseen Krefeld, Krefeld; Ludwig Forum Aachen, Aachen; Kunsthall Trondheim, Trondheim; La Centrale, Brussels; Mostyn, Wales; Tallinn Art Hall, Tallin; Sørlandets kunstmuseum, Kristiansand and the Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo. Her work is represented in the collections of the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo; KODE Art Museum, Bergen; The Kistefos Collection, Oslo; Trondheim kunstmuseum, Trondheim; Sørlandets kunstmuseum, Kristiansand; Städtische Galerie, Delmenhorst; Le Centre Pompidou, Paris; and mumok - Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, Austria. Hol’s artist book "Drawing Literature", in collaboration with designer Aslak Gurholt, was published in 2020 by Hatje Cantz Verlag. In 2024, Ane Mette Hol was honoured with a mid-career retrospective exhibition at Haugar Kunstmuseum, Tønsberg.
