de boer (Antwerp) is proud to present Something Spinning, a solo exhibition by Norwegian-born, Antwerp-based painter Karsten Krogh-Hansen (b. 1997, Oslo), whose recent works explore the mercurial nature of images and memory in the digital era. Working fluidly between large oil paintings on linen and smaller distemper panels made with pumice stone, pigments, and artist-frames wrapped in printed textiles, his dual approach invites a sustained engagement with how we recognize, archive, and transform images.

Karsten Krogh-Hansen (b. 1997, Oslo, Norway; based in Antwerp, Belgium) is a visual artist working primarily in painting. He holds an MFA in visual arts from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp. Krogh-Hansen's work explores the evolving role of imagery in contemporary culture, shaped by digital technology, popular culture, and nostalgia. He often transforms iconographic elements that are familiar to us all, into something more intimate and psychological. He actively archives digital imagery, collecting fragments from the vast stream of media. This process has become an integral part of his practice, shaping the way he engages with painting. Beyond imagery, his work reflects a continued interest in the history and materiality of painting. Recent solo and group exhibitions include those at de boer, Los Angeles, US; Forbidden City, Antwerp, BE; Christian Torp Kunsthandel, Oslo, NO; Nosbaum Reding Gallery, Brussels, BE.
