Adorning the Bride 1952

Kai Fjell was a Norwegian painter, printmaker and scenographer. Fjell was born on a farm in the village Skoger near Drammen, Norway. His father was the farmer and painter Conrad Bendiks Fjeld.

Kai Fjell became a pupil of Carl von Hanno in Oslo in 1926. A year later, he enrolled at the State’s School of Art and Design of Oslo, where his main teachers were August Eiebakke and from 1929 Olaf Willums. Fjell married Ingeborg Helene Holst in 1931. His debut exhibition in Oslo Art Society in 1932 was largely unsuccessful.

Wise Woman 1935

Kai Fjell early developed an ornamental expressionism. His pictures are heavily influenced by rural life and traditional Norwegian folk art. Fjell achieved immediate success with his exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus (The Artists’ House) in 1937, where all the exhibited paintings were sold.

Fjell’s early paintings are dominated by dark and earthy hues and often has grotesque motifs (titles include The Violent Man, The Self-killer, The Hearse). His later works are significantly brighter, more daring in their use of colour, and tranquil in mood. Throughout his long career, the female figure and various fertility-symbols are recurring motifs in Fjell’s pictures.
