Featured Norway2UK Artist - Gunnveig Nerol

Gunnveig Nerol builds paintings. Her building material is colour, which she
conceives of as inherently sculptural. With colours she builds forms, and with
forms, paintings.....She does not strive for harmony or elegance. Words such as

Olympics are the pinnacle of sporting achievement

See their 600,000 strong Facebook Fan Page for more crazy pants pictures.
