Solveig Aalberg works with hand weaving as her primary method, and her genuine interest in and exploration of color and color intensity is a consistent thread throughout her body of work. Her pieces are created through an organization of colors, textures, and repetitions. She uses materials such as linen, cotton, polyester, polypropylene, wool, silk, hemp, reflective fibre and paper yarn. To achieve the desired color expression, she often hand-dyes the yarn. She emphasizes a simple and tight overall composition, while the individual components are highly detailed. Her works are often presented in series. A recurring rhythm in Aalberg’s artistic practice is the alternation between large-scale works that engage with the body and space, and small, intimate formats that invite the viewer to experience the works up close.

Solveig Aalberg (born 1955 in Steinkjer, Norway) lives and works in Asker. She was educated at the National College of Art and Design in Oslo (1979–1983). Aalberg has held numerous solo exhibitions at prominent art institutions in Norway, and has participated in many group exhibitions both nationally and internationally – including in Kyoto, Riga, Beijing, Shanghai, London, and Copenhagen. Her works have been acquired by institutions such as Arts Council Norway, KODE in Bergen, Asker Municipality, the National Museum of Decorative Arts and Design in Trondheim, Viking Ocean Cruises, as well as private collectors in Norway and Canada. She has also completed several public art commissions. In addition to her own artistic practice, Aalberg has worked as a curator and has actively participated in various committees and boards supporting the interests of artists.
