The sculpture Signum
Gino Scarpa (1924–2022) was an Italian-Norwegian painter, printmaker, and sculptor. He was born in Venice in 1924 and was originally trained as an architect. Since his debut exhibition in his hometown in 1946, he worked as a painter, printmaker, and sculptor.
He had been living in Oslo since 1970.
Scarpa had a long career with numerous exhibitions both in Norway and abroad, and he received many public art commissions and awards. He was represented twice at the prestigious Venice Biennale and participated in a wide range of other international exhibitions.
“Put the kettel on!”
Artist Hans Martin Øien is behind the art installation ‘Put over the kettle!’. It is a gift from the bank Sparebanken Hedmark's art fund and consists of a large copper kettle with additional elements in corten steel.
– "I looked through a lot of old photos of the forestry workers in the area and realised that many of the photos showed a coffee kettle or the forestry workers sitting around the fire with a coffee kettle. That's when I realised that the coffee kettle was very important to those who worked in the forest," says the artist of the large copper kettle" says Hans Martin Øien.
The coffee kettle has two dimensions where it stands. Firstly, the spout of the coffee kettle points down Kaffegata, and in terms of the history of Kaffegata, this is a very good thing. The street was once full of coffee shops. The other thing is the three figures we can see standing around the roundabout. These bear witness to the area we're in in terms of logging and the cream business that has been here in the district.
Hans Martin Øien is a Norwegian visual artist and sculptor. He mainly works with art in public spaces, with several different expressions and materials.
Hans Martin Øien is among those who utilised the 1980s approach to various historical styles, techniques and themes. One of the strongest historical references in Øien's art is Norwegian woodcarving, joinery and lacquering techniques. His favoured material has been wood, which in a sculptural context is a soft and pliable material. It can be moulded both by subtracting through scraping, sawing and chopping, or by assembling elements. The reference to folk art and the use of wood and stone as elements is intended to emphasise the role of the artwork as a craft product. The works can also be related to how the Western art scene has related to art linked to craft traditions in other parts of the world. Øien's works from 2005 to the present day address this issue in that they were created in collaboration with Asian craftsmen as well as Norwegian ones.
Hans Martin Øien has had the state's guaranteed income since 2008.
Gjess – Street Art Jessheim
Jessheim enthusiast Tore Kværner had long suggested decorating the wall of the Gjensidige building, which stood gray and dull, in the middle of the main street.
Together with the owner of the building Pelle Skedsmo, Tore Kværner enlisted muralist Caspari to create a painting based on sketches by Egil Nyhus. After several rounds of different proposals, the final design was chosen in May 2022. Just a few weeks later, the finished artwork was officially unveiled during the 10th anniversary celebration of Jessheim as a town on June 10, 2022.
You can find it centrally located in Jessheim town center at Storgata 9.

Yes to all – sculpture
The purpose of Skulpturstopp is to contribute to increasing awareness and knowledge about art by placing works by accomplished contemporary artists in communities in Eastern Norway.
BACKGROUND
Skulpturstopp stems from an art-appreciation project carried out by the Lillehammer Art Museum in 2007 with support from The DNB Savings Bank Foundation. The project was called Kunst som finnes (Existing Art) and aimed to draw people’s attention to the art to be found in their local community and outside the realm of the traditional art institutions. As part of the project, Lillehammer Art Museum documented the artworks in public space in the Oppland and Hedmark counties.
One of the discoveries made by Kunst som finnes was that there was a limited scope of quality art at the local level. Inspired by the project Skulpturlandskap Nordland, The DNB Savings Bank Foundation wished to establish a similar initiative in Eastern Norway, which would showcase work by internationally established artists. They therefore formed a working group consisting of Svein Olav Hoff and Birthe M. Selvaag from Lillehammer Art Museum, Anders Bjørnsen and Sissel Karlsen from The DNB Savings Bank Foundation, and curator Maaretta Jaukkuri to develop Skulpturstopp.

Outdoor art at Hurdalsjøen Hotel & Spa
In addition to being a spa and conference hotel, Hurdalsjøen Hotell has in recent years also expanded with a separate sculpture park outside and more art projects around the hotel.
The artists who have contributed are NICO WIDERBERG, OLE MARTIN SKAUG, SVERRE ANDREAS KOREN BJERTNÆS, HENRIK GJERSTAD, PÅL GJERSTAD, J ØRLEIF UTHAUG and JOSEF TZEGAI YOHANNES
NICO WIDERBERG is educated in drawing, graphics and sculpture at the Norwegian School of Crafts and Design, and studied sculpture under Boge Berg at the Norwegian Academy of Fine Arts. Widerberg works with sculpture in stone (including granite and diabase), bronze and glass, with oil paintings and with graphics. Central to Widerberg's art are depersonalized human representations, heads and torso. The hotel has two sculptures by Nico Widerberg; "På Bølgen and Kransen" two figures in the garden.
SVERRE ANDREAS KOREN BJERTNÆS is a Norwegian painter and graphic artist. He participated in his first exhibition as a 15-year-old in connection with Nerdrumskolen's group exhibition at Blomqvist in Oslo. The hotel also has two works of art by this artist.
OLE MARTIN SKAUG is originally a photographer, educated at California State University in Los Angeles. In addition to studying photography, he also have training in a number of other art disciplines. This led to the Bachelor of Arts degree. Ceramics are today his main form of expression. Ole Martin works mainly in stoneware clay but also in other materials such as iron, lead and epoxy. He has had a number of exhibitions in Norway, Sweden. The hotel is so lucky to have several sculptures by Skaug, including the "Damvokteren" which can be found by the pond north of the hotel.
HENRIK GJERSTAD is a graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and has studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design. The New York-based artist has been apprenticed to two generations of artists, both his father Pål Gjerstad and his grandfather Ivar Gjerstad. In 2017, he has exhibited works at the Contempop Gallery in New York and at Juvenarte in Oslo.
PÅL GJERSTAD is director of Hurdalsjøen Hotell and has always been interested in art and has contributed to the sculpture park by spray-painting the hotel's old piano and by constructing a steel bench.
JØRLEIF UTHAUG was a pioneer for abstract sculpture in Norway and his experimentation with new techniques and materials led Uthaug to metal sculpture and reliefs in the 50's. He used materials such as glass, stone, wood, copper and brass. The hotel is so lucky that they have borrowed a relief and a sculpture of Uthaug Art Center by Jørleif's son Geir, who is also an artist.
JOSEF TZEGAI YOHANNES is a cartoonist and artist. He is the author of The Urban Legend. In 2016, Josef Yohannes made an Eidsvoll Edition with a dramatic story about scary forces that will "rob the Constitution" – both as an exhibition and as a comic book, and the hotel has borrowed the exhibition of Eidsvoll 1814. This can be seen along the forest path west of the hotel.
SVERRE BJERTNÆS is considered one of Norway's most important and central contemporary artists, and over the past ten years has made a name for himself on the international art scene. His earlier works are characterized by an attraction to dark tones and still life, portraits and model studies. "The collective human" new artwork with us and is made in bronze and is 260 high.
