Inga Sund Hofset – Aura Slice
An aura is an invisible field of light or energy surrounding living beings. In medical terms, it refers to a premonition or warning sign, often preceding an attack, such as a migraine. Through a multifaceted painting process involving ink, watercolor, various glues, egg tempera, and oil on canvas, Inga Sund Hofset explores this mental state of underlying pressure, where light bends, language falters, and signs begin to shift.
Inga Sund Hofset (b. 1983, Ringerike) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. She has an MFA from Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Recent solo exhibitions include AURA SLICE, Sandefjord kunstforeningen, Sandefjord (2025); Retrett, Femtensesse Oslo (2023); Empat, LNM, Oslo (2021); Adorn, not for Being observed, Elephant Kunsthall, Lillehammer (2019); On Being Faces, Akershus Kunstsenter, Lillestrøm (2017); and Shifts, KVIT, Copenhagen (2017). Her work has been featured in group shows in Oslo, Paris and Berlin and presented through platforms such as the literary magazine Vinduet and Khartoum Contemporary Art Center (KCAC) in Oslo. Her work is included in the collections of KORO – Public Art Norway and Equinor Art Programme.
