Ann Beate Tempelhaug’s artistic practice claims affiliation with three distinct art traditions or histories: painting, sculpture, and ceramics. Within the paradigm of Western Modernism, according to American art critic Clement Greenberg, painting and sculpture are art forms that have been increasingly abstract, self-contained, autonomous, and medium specific. She combines painted surfaces and a physical, sculptural form that too claims a presence. While painting is primarily a medium for the eye, again according to Greenberg, sculpture has a spatial relationship with the body as well, stressing the emotionally experience of the work over intellectual understanding.
