Beschreibung
Separated from his Sámi roots through wartime evacuation, Aage Gaup later reconnected with his heritage through art. One of the most distinctive Nordic sculptors of his generation, Gaup developed a powerful, poetic visual language that combined abstract expression with Sámi spirituality and duodji traditions. The exhibition catalogue brings together monumental sculptures, installations, scenographic models and maquettes, highlighting his unique synthesis of international modernism and Sámi cultural heritage. A co-founder of the influential Máze Group and the Sámi Artists Union, Gaup played a key role in shaping contemporary Sámi art. His work explored identity, memory, displacement and belonging, while helping place Sámi art within a global Indigenous context.
