All Artwork
Transfer painting built from a failed Oslo canvas — the exact size requested for a Berlin group show. Multiple acrylic transfers are layered: a faded Oslo cityscape, a Rietveld-era painting using 2007 Venice Biennale photographs, a 1906 San Francisco earthquake aerial, and leftover WWII source photographs — held together with assertive colour fields.

The artist's later reflection on the piece: a figure on the inside trying to make sense of the inside, while yearning for the outside. Reflects real ambivalence about the high-art world at the time — engaged enough to build a whole composition around it, but never fully absorbed into it.

A transfer painting made at the Gerrit Rietveld Akademie in 2007, combining multiple photographs from Skulptur Projekte Münster into a single landscape composition. The first work in Bolter's practice to layer multiple photo transfers on one canvas, bridging the Vanishing Landscapes series toward the conceptual ambition of what would become A Colorful History.
