Gitte Maria Möller, born in 1991 in 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 (2015), where she received the Judy Steinberg Painting Prize for her graduate show. She has exhibited locally in South Africa and internationally across Europe, the UK, and the United States. Möller uses a range of different mediums and painterly devices to explore the symbolic and numinous possibilities of picture-making. By drawing from dream symbology, early video games, and natural or urban landscapes, Gitte holds a complex array of signs, symbols, and archetypes in suspension. Through her work, she 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. Möller lives and works between Cape Town and New York City.
