Liv Ertzeid (b. 1986, Norway) graduated with an MFA from Oslo Academy of Fine Art, and she has a BA in Social Anthropology from University of Oslo. Ertzeid primarily works with painting, sculpture, and installation. Her works often center around explorations of gardens, vegetation, and small creatures. Moving between abstraction and figuration, plants, flowers, and sprouts stretch across the canvas in a confabulation of colour and directions.

Her duo and group exhibitions include shows at Kunstnerforbundet, Oslo (2023); Stockholm Furniture Fair, Stockholm (2023); Chart Art Fair, Copenhagen (2022); London Craft Week, London (2022); Art Cologne, Cologne (2021); Henie Onstad, Bærum (2020); Galleri Opdahl, Stavanger (2020); LNM, Oslo (2020) and Blomquist / QB Galleri, Oslo (2019).
Ertzeid has been co-founder of the artist-run gallery Slursula in Oslo from 2015-2018.
