Camilla Luihn
(born 1968) works and lives in Oslo, Norway. Her artistic practice is interdisciplinary and includes, in addition to art jewelry, a number of other art forms. Her work balances on the thin line between the near and “ordinary” and the spectacular and the abnormal, focusing on perception, relationships and socially relevant angles depicted through various thematic projects. In recent years she has mainly researched and focused on enamel as a craft and implement this technique in most of her art projects.
Luihn is educated at the Oslo Academy of the Arts (MFA, BFA, metal) and has had an extensive career with solo exhibitions at RAM gallery, Kunstnerforbundet and Gallery F15, as well as a number of group exhibitions in Norway and internationally. She has been purchased by the main public collections in Norway and is represented by a number of galleries and museums. In 2019 she completed the new mayoral chain for Moss municipality after being invited to a closed pre-qualification. She is currently working on solo exhibitions in Kunstnerforbundet, Oslo (2021) and Froots Gallery, China (2021).
Camilla Luihn prefers to prioritize projects that have a social and professional relevance for the metal and jewelry art community, based on the idea that collaboration will benefit the artist community as a whole and also the individual artist. She initiated the art group ARKIVET which actively exhibits in Norway and internationally and is the founder and editor for the Norwegian Metal and Jewelry Register (NOMEKURE), a private, idealistic and non-profit initiative designed to promote Norwegian metal and art jewelry in Norway and internationally. As of August 2019, she has also been the director/curator for PORTABEL, a small exhibition space in connection with her studio in Oslo, and she has since September 2019 been employed as an Assistant Professor at the department of Arts and Crafts at The Oslo National Academy of the Arts.
