Øgaards practice is situated at the intersection of painting and sculpture. Where materiality, light, and spatial perception are fundamental elements.
The works develop through slow, layered processes in which pigment, sand, plaster, and cement are built up into surfaces that both absorb and reflect light. The practice explores how minimal shifts in form and structure can produce subtle yet meaningful changes in the viewer’s experience. The works are activated by their positioning in space and change character depending on lighting conditions and the viewer’s movement. Painting, understood as a physical object and a spatial phenomenon rather than an illusory image. The process is intuitive, yet grounded in a consistent investigation of form, light and space. The works do not seek narratives, but instead opens up a sensory experience where time, presence, and materiality are central. Øgaard investigates how painting can transcend its traditional boundaries and function as an experience rather than a representation.
