Morten Krogh's artistic expression is often characterized by strong material effects and the insertion of various objects onto the abstract picture surface, which pushed the boundaries of artistic expression. He was chairman of the board for Kunstnernes Hus from 1966 to 1969, where he organized exhibitions of a particularly modern and experimental nature, and during this period Kunstnernes Hus assumed a new position as an exhibition venue in Oslo.
