Yngve Henriksen | Fondazione Pastificio Cerere

May 14, 2026

Lofoten Poems – Visions from the Deep North is the solo exhibition by Yngve Henriksen curated by Alessandra Mammì, held under the patronage of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Italy.

Born and based in the Lofoten archipelago, Yngve Henriksen grounds his artistic practice in the origins and atmosphere of these lands. Like an explorer, the artist is drawn to the power of remote places, to the Arctic horizon and frozen landscapes where nature asserts itself with an overwhelming scenic presence.

The exhibition brings together paintings of varying scale and date, drawings on paper, and more intimate works of minimal dimensions. Books, records, small mementos, trophies, notes, photographs, and notebooks are arranged in display cases alongside the artworks—like a secret wunderkammer—guiding visitors through Henriksen’s creative process.

As part of the public programme, on 15 May 2026 at 5 pm, the event Crossing Light and Darkness. Dialogues between science and art will take place at the Central Library “Guglielmo Marconi” (Room A) of the National Research Council in Rome.
