Cato Løland (b. 1982) lives in Bergen, Norway. He is particularly drawn to industrially produced materials as they offer an opportunity for the reintroduction of the human hand in their creation – for reanimation. Subtlety, vulnerability, playfulness, and insistent presence has become hallmarks of his practice. Løland completed his MA from Bergen Academy of Art and Design in 2009. In 2025 Løland is invited at the prestigious Kunstnerforbundet in Oslo for a solo. In his exhibition ADDED with Lundgren Gallery, two series of works are presented, entitled Fullness, Emptiness and Arches in Span.
