Erlend Grytbakk Wold works through painting and sculpture with the legacy of modernist formal and visual language, emphasizing his previous belief in the purity and perfection of this expression. He attempts to shake off inherited prejudices and learned perspectives, striving towards a personal and honest artistic expression that acknowledges this baggage without being bound by it.
