Work from his oeuvre. Bø has an exhibition opening at Denny Gallery in New York featuring some of the above pieces.

“Ole Martin Lund Bø has a minimal approach to his work. The materials he uses – such as tinted film for car glass, architectural fragments, structural excerpts and decorum elements – are inscribed with meaning, radiating power and desire.

The works themselves, however, are extractions rather than abstractions, merely suggesting an act or certain behaviour. His monochrome surfaces are stage sets, codes and catalysts, producing their own specific rules of engagement.” – Denny Gallery

Ole Martin Lund Bø (Norwegian, born 1973) has a distinctive minimal, interdisciplinary approach to his work. He playfully misuses materials as an entry into a larger paradox. His materials and subject matter are inscribed with meaning, radiating power and desire. They act as excerpts of architectural structures or forms of social decorum. The works themselves, however, are extractions rather than abstractions, suggesting an act or a certain behavior. The formal minimalism engenders the feeling that the intended subject is somehow missing from the work, existing just outside the field of the canvas or the photograph. The monochrome surfaces are stage sets, codes and catalysts, producing their own specific rules of engagement.

This reminds me of the way one point perspective was studied using strings and light. But here, it seems the artist has studied the odd way that such a projection would interact with random sticks in an environment to produce an image, or in this case intelligible text from one viewpoint and then seemingly chaos from other diverging views.
