Gitte Maria Möller (b. 1991) Cape Town, South Africa received her BAFA from the Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2015. She lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa and has exhibited extensively locally and internationally. 

Möller explores symbolic and numinous possibilities of picture-making through painterly devices in a range of mediums. Referencing religious painting, dream symbology, early video games, online fan art and childhood memory, Möller’s work holds an array of iconography in suspension. Discarded fragments and disregarded aesthetics are rehabilitated to form a personalised arena for devotion, establishing a union between her inner and outer reality. These intricate visual spaces offer a distracted meditation on a world interpolated by empathy and apathy, freedom and vulnerability, and the struggle between good and evil.

Recent notable exhibitions include ‘A dreaming hand, wounded by thorns’ with Andrew Woolbright, Rachel Uffner Gallery, New York City, US (2023), ‘November Misty’s Tears’, 74 Castle Street, Cape Town, SA( 2023), ‘Hall of Mirrors’, Plop Residency, London, United Kingdom (2023), ‘New Art Dealers Association Flea Market’, New York City, US (2023), ‘Basement Romance at Romance’, Pittsburgh, US (2023), ’Under-Water-Love with Galerie Eigen+Art’, Under Projects, Cape Town, SA (2023), ‘Ten of Cups’, 66 Plein Street, Cape Town, SA (2023), ‘Retail Pharmacy’, 39 Henry Street, New York City, US (2023), ‘Proto’, A4 Arts Foundation, Cape Town, SA (2022), ‘Amatuer Amantes’, WAF Galerie, Vienna, Austria (2022), ‘Thorn Apple Project 2’, Billiard Cafe Leipziger, Berlin, Germany (2022).
