Gitte Maria Möller
Gitte Maria Möller (b. 1991, Cape Town, South Africa) is a painter, multi-disciplinary artist and pre-school teacher. She graduated with a BAFA from the Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2015, where she received the Judy Steinberg Painting Prize for her graduate show. She has exhibited locally in South Africa, as a well as internationally across Europe, the UK and the United States. She lives and works between Cape Town and New York City. Gitte uses a range of different mediums and painterly devices to explore the symbolic and numinous possibilities of picture-making. Drawing from dream symbology, early video games and the natural and urban landscape, Gitte’s work holds a complex array of signs, symbols, and archetypes in suspension. Through her work Gitte strives to form a union between her inner and outer reality, creating a personalized arena for devotion in her pictures. In this intricate visual space, she offers a distracted meditation on a world interpolated by empathy and apathy, freedom and vulnerability, and the struggle between g00d and 3vil.
