Biography
Biography
Ingebrigt Vik was born in the village of Øystese in Vikør Municipality in Søndre Bergenhus county, Norway. He was the son of Hans Gunnarson Tveit (1832–1901) and Ingebjørg Torgeirsdotter Vik (1841–1902). He grew up in Øystese and began as a wood carver in his father's factory. He trained as an artist at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen from 1889 to 1891. After surgery for tuberculosis in his left knee, he returned home to recover. In 1903 he moved to Paris and attended Académie Colarossi where he trained with sculptor Jean Antoine Injalbert. In 1906, he was assigned the Houens legat and studied in Italy. Some of Vik's best known works are in the National Gallery of Norway, including Ung Pike (1903) Sittende ung pike (1908) and Ynglingen (1913). In the theatre gardens in Bergen there is his statue of the composer Edvard Grieg (1915) in bronze. His statue of Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel was first shown publicly at the Autumn Exhibition in Oslo in 1904. It stands today in front of Niels Henrik Abels hus at the University of Oslo. Many of his works stand in the Ingebrigt Vik Museum.
