Tegnerforbundets utvalgte 2025 is the ninth edition of an exhibition that has become a regular highlight of the Norwegian Artists' Association's annual program. The exhibition presents a professionally juried selection from the great variety of picture books, comics, and illustrated and wordless books published during the past year. Through sketches, original drawings, and digital works, we highlight the extensive and detailed work that such publications require, in recognition of the visual book and the skilled illustrators behind it. This year's professional jury consists of Kristoffer Kjølberg, May Linn Clemet, and Marius Renberg.
This year's selected illustrators are:
Bjørn Ousland , Welcome to Grumyra, Gyldendal
Kaia Dahle Nyhus , Go away! (written by Gro Dahle), Cappelen Damm
Marianne Gretteberg Engedal , Birds you may have met , Aschehoug
Flu Hartberg , OsloLovers , No Comprendo Press
Åshild Irgens , Oskar and I – All the Things We Have (written by Maria Parr), Samlaget
Mari Kanstad Johnsen , Swimming Bird (written by Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold), Aschehoug
Helen Kaldheim , Mørkalven 4 , TNT/Bonnier
Espen Friberg , Zero Life No. 3 (written by Fredrik Larsen), No Comprendo Press
Sigbjørn Lilleeng , The Dinosaurs' Record Book (written by Reidar Müller), Aschehoug
Per Ragnar Møkleby , Round trip , Spriten Forlag
Kari Stai , The Pack – stories , The Collective
Rune Markhus , Mushrooms in a hal! (written by Unni Vik), Gyldendal
The selected books will be available to the public in the gallery throughout the exhibition period.
Each year, one of the selected artists is commissioned to decorate the gallery's window facade with an original drawing for the exhibition. This year, Per Ragnar Møkleby is responsible for this drawing. Video interviews with the selected artists will also be shown in Tegnerforbundet during the exhibition period.
