The Bærtling Foundation promotes constructive art through support to artists.

The Bærtling Scholarship 2024

Anders Sletvold Moe is awarded the Bærtling Scholarship for his dedicated work in renewing and deepening the concretist art tradition. Sletvold Moe often works with a limited number of visual elements in distinct geometric shapes and bold colors that interact across the surface. Sometimes, these elements shape the painting itself, similar to the "shaped canvas" work by many American minimalists. In these pieces, the paintings also emerge as objects that interact with other works, thus occupying the entire room in a cohesive composition. In other pieces, Sletvold Moe focuses more on the internal dynamics of the canvas, where long, wedge-shaped areas cut across the canvas.
