Siri Aurdal (born 20 October 1937 in Oslo) is a Norwegian painter, graphic designer, and sculptor.[1] She comes from an artistic family with parents textile artist Synnøve Anker Aurdal and painter Leon Aurdal. Ludvig Eikaas was her stepfather from 1959.
Although Aurdal is both a graphic designer and painter, her main field was sculpture and work with sculpture. She made her debut at the Høstutstillingen 1961 with a bust of Egil Eggen in brass. After that, she made a number of other busts of famous people, including Earle Hyman (1963) and Svend von Düring and Ludvig Eikaas (1965).[2]
In February 1969, she won a competition to decorate schools in Oslo, and in October 1972 presented the sculpture "Havbølger" at Trosterud skole. It was 12 × 6 m glass fibre tubes cut in wavy shapes which serves as a play sculpture for 100 children.[2]
In 1979, she made a large relief in aluminium for Abelhaugen train station in Oslo.[2]
