Sjur Eide Aas (b. 1989, Stavanger, Norway) lives and works in Norway. He holds a BFA from The Academy of Fine Art in Trondheim and graduated with an MFA from The Academy of Art and Design in Bergen in 2017. Previous exhibitions include: It´s already late, Overlyssalen, Kunstnerforbundet, Oslo; Omississimo (group exhibition) at Cavalo Galeria, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; At Hermit Street Metro Entrance, Entrée Galleri, Bergen; The Miracle of the Burning Bush, Was All in Your Head, Noplace, Oslo.

Sketches and drawings are often the starting point of his process, dealing with themes like absence, chaos-theory, time and space. In his installations he attempt to bring out poetical qualities from everyday observations, events, and phenomena, conveying a curiosity about physical laws, and how everything is connected, in particular; how absence can make something even more present. Also characteristic for his work is a feeling of displacement.
