Kim Hiorthøy –
Norway: The wit and intelligence
of the work of young Norwegian designer, artist, musician,
film-maker and photographer Kim Hiorthøy marks
him out as being one of a very special kind. Regardless
of what medium he chooses, he manages to pack narratives
of great intricacy and depth into his very personal
and reduced visual or written language. From the Nordic
colour cosmos of his record sleeves to his poetic
and often humorous drawings or photos, Hiorthøy
erases the line between design and art with accomplished
ease.
