HuskMitNavn

HuskMitNavn (b. 1975) is a multidisciplinary artist known for large-scale installations, public works, paintings, prints, artist multiples and books.

He actively uses the medium to promote and instigate creativity. Over the past 20 years, he has developed a distinct visual vocabulary, merging the everyday with art history to reveal the poetry in daily life. His paintings — depicting objects and routines often overlooked, from bicycles and washing machines to rainy commutes — create a contemporary anthropology, connecting viewers across time and borders. Rooted in a sustained attention to ordinary scenes and shared habits, his practice gently challenges hierarchies of subject matter, suggesting that the mundane holds the same expressive and emotional potential as the canonized masterpiece. In addition, his works often build on this visual language, offering elegant homages to Vincent Van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer, Anna Ancher, and Edward Hopper, while emphasizing curiosity, empathy, and the universality of human experience.

Working under the pseudonym HuskMitNavn (RememberMyName), he has remained anonymous throughout his career, allowing the work to take precedence over the artist, while achieving wide international recognition, not least through social media.
