Poster Artists

June Kittelsen (b. 1999) is a visual artist and writer.
She graduated from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts but is originally from Vennesla. She now lives and works in Oslo, both on her art practice and at Det Andre Teatret.
When June was younger, someone gave her a whittling knife. She never put it down. It was more than just a phase in woodworking class. She has embraced the whittling knife, and it stands as a sort of focal point in her artistic practice.

Using a burning tool, she burns drawings into wood, paper, leather, and other materials she happens to come across. A major source of aesthetic inspiration has been Norwegian decorative art, which, in its lavish style, features rose-painted motifs and woodcarvings on everything from wooden bowls to beds, churches, and wall hangings. Thematically, she draws inspiration from the intersection between the mundane and the traumatic experiences of life.

The 2026 poster series was created by Annika Linn Verdal Homme. She is an illustrator, comic artist, and graphic designer who graduated from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. She is originally from Kristiansand but lives and works in Oslo. Annika runs Blekksprut’n Risotrykkeri and often incorporates the aesthetics and spirit of the risograph printer into her work. For example, she frequently works with bold colors and grainy textures. She believes in leaving room for improvisation and appreciating imperfection.

Annika Linn won the Grafill Visual Design Award for her poster series.

The 2025 poster series was created by visual artist Veronica Lund. She was born and raised in Kristiansand and is currently studying at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, where she is pursuing a master’s degree in printmaking and drawing. Lund often works in the gray area between painting and drawing, moving from the figurative into the abstract.

The poster series consists of lithographs printed on the famous Mourlot press in Paris, which is operated by SMIA Grafiske on Odderøya. In 2025, Kristiansand will celebrate the Year of Printmaking as part of the 50th anniversary of the Myren Grafikk collective workshop. This inspired Kilden Theater to collaborate with Lund on a series of lithographic posters.
