<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">This exhibition let me see Asgeir Jorn compared to Munch, but
perhaps more importantly Jorn and Munch in relation to the Nordic expression.
The framing, Jorn + Munch is too narrow. It quite naturally open up an even
wider perspective with references running everywhere, even to the work of
Frances Bacon. Without the making use of the traditional, intellectual instruments
Jorns paintings contains both symbolism and the intuitive message. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

2016, acrylic on mdf (30 x 20 cm) is the ultimate painting in the room. I can not free myself from the word "powerhouse" Picture frames holding the energy of the picture within. And the rest: large panels
covering walls at Gallery Haaken with Ness’ manic detailed and complex shapes, forms and colours. Urban, organic, meditative, explosive. Who the hell will let their arm
connect mechanically and obedient to the creative brain producing a wall of 4
meter x 7 meter (!!) with mind boggling pencil drawings forming intricate
patterns in different colours? Ness will, and the result is overwhelming. The
idea is to reduce the artist to a human printer or medium through which creativity
can flow. And it works!! Mystic, organic and modern, sucking you into the same
flow. We had a hard time untangling from Ness organic universe making an exit
to the real world. <span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #212121; font-family: inherit, serif;">Bjørn Ransve
creates a space for wondering with his latest exhibition at Oslo Kunsthandel. The title of the exhibit,</span><span style="color: #212121;"> "Reduction and complexity", does not really serve
artist or art proper justice. These prints silently confront and engage you. The
artist's intention evokes reflection, opens new room for wondering. The
expression is minimalistic and technically it is reduced down to the core. This opens up for creative interpretations. Perhaps one should not say too much about what
happens facing Ransves nonfigurative and meditative prints. It is an
intellectual and demanding encounter, and it is very much about color. Ransves mastery is as much in his use of coulours as part of the composition as his modern, abstraction. I'm left with no answer,
but many good questions. And so grows the exhibition as one moves from image to
image. Maybe it could have been curated a little better, but the white walls exposes pictures as exclamations. They require of everyone and everything: both
wall and viewer. Bjørn Ransve never lets you in peace once he has reached your imagionation with his silent questions and wondering. He will haunt my perception for the comming days - if not forever. </span></div>

<span style="color: #212121;"> I think it's fair to call him

Bakken and Marius Moe share their observations of and about nature. Clean, beautiful,

other night motives. Nature slumbering under ice, at the doorstep of winter and
the coming frost or under a night light moon. Nature as we want it to be? </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Beautiful. But nature can not oppose culture in a painting. It naturally becomes loaded representations. A creek running through a landscape that is both distant and near, panoramic and down to details: falling leaves, broken sticks a solitude straw. Eye lead to the horizon, attention kept on details. Or the cabin in the middle of the snow and ice cowered mountains. Small reminiscence of something else, breaking the monotony of unspoilt nature. Nature not untouched, nature going through change. Shifting light, coming frost or decay, a night light sky. What will happen in the next second, will the scene change or stay put? What will bring about change? Natural beauty at first glance, but looking closer I sense the constructions of inner landscapes by a closer look. Inviting, yet remote. Clean and beauty, still about to change. Pictures that apart from their beauty keep my attentions and makes the exhibit worth wile a visit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong style="background-color: initial; color: #222222;">The Nationalmuseum has acquired a large, masterfully executed game still life dating from 1684 by the Dutch Baroque painter Jan Weenix. The painting represents dead game placed next to a sculpted fountain in the shape of a putto. The canvas formerly belonged to the Swedish diplomat and collector Karl Bergsten and has now been reunited with those parts of his extensive art collection previously in the museum’s holdings.</strong></div>

The German painter Daniel Richter (b. 1962) belongs to the generation succeeding Germany’s “Junge Wilde” in the 1980s, but he has insisted on painting as a genre at full intensity – and in full colour. The exhibition Daniel Richter. Lonely Old Slogans shows around 45 of his highlights from the period 1995-2015. What we see is a painter who experiments with a variety of visual languages – the abstract, the figurative, the poster-like – and does so with reckless energy and great artistic aplomb. </div>

This is the first international exhibition of his paintings and prints. At HOK the exhibition is expanded with new contemporary artworks that treat the relationship between life, ecology and sustainability with the same commitment as Astrup did.</span></h4>

Probably the most boring exhibitioin I've ever been to!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Israel leaves me with an absolute void: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
performing a brand produced by brand makers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pop art suddenly lost all its meaning. </div>
An absolutely uninteresting note from one of Israels actor friends (in a frame !!)<br />
marks the rock bottom.<br />
Art is about something, this is pure nothing - to me.<br />

My whife? She just wanted a sofa as she constantly tried not to fall asleep during the tour.<br />

exhibition will debut in June with a comprehensive survey of the work of artist
Cindy Sherman. <em>Cindy Sherman: Imitation
of Life</em> is the first major museum show of Sherman’s work in Los
Angeles in nearly 20 years, and the exhibition will fill The Broad’s

<span lang="EN" style="color: #212121; font-family: "inherit" , serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">It's like entering a world both familiar, but manufactured
in a strange way. Nature is warlike, swallowing culture for lunch. Buildings
and other symbols of culture goes with the tide. Nature takes over, overcomes
culture in the pictures. They are great, both in format, curating and not least
because of the photographic craft. I wandered around the Angkor Wat ruins in
Cambodia years ago. There I felt the same presence of a nature that requires
back, filling the void left by manmade culture. For Schmitz pictures are about
the absence of people and the overwhelming presence of nature. Where Asians are
trying to find the balance between nature and culture, the nature Western
culture becomes brutal because it has provided no room for coexistence, rather
battle and war. When we also manipulate nature, it strikes even more brutally
back at culture. Left in Schmitz pictures are memories of culture and an
overwhelming, almost frightening silence and the dominance of nature. It is - in
my opinion - best expressed in black and white. It really gets the vegetation
to breath of silent revenge. In the great plant portraits, thoughts fly to the
ongoing Mapplethorpe + Munch exhibition at the Munch Museum. Schmitz conveys - unlike
- Mapplethorpe a subtle, feminine interpretation of nature. She is therefore
interestingly enough more open to a dialogue with culture / nature than
Mapplethorpes loaded, homoerotic expressions. </span></div>

<strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.46px;">For the first time ever, an exhibition will focus on the wide-ranging Japanese influence on Nordic art and design around 1900. Works by leading Nordic artists such as Gerhard Munthe, Bruno Liljefors, Helene Schjerfbeck, and Oda Krohg will be presented alongside works by European pioneers such as Monet, Gauguin, and van Gogh.</strong><strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.46px;"> </strong></div>

When the exhibition opens 17 June, it will be shown at two venues, with an emphasis on visual arts at the National Gallery and on design at the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.</div>

This Japanese inspiration, known in the world of art as Japonism, was the result of Japan opening its borders in 1854, but it first became evident in the Nordic countries from the 1880s on. </div>

Asymmetry, simplification, stylization, and looser shapes and forms were new stylistic elements that revolutionized both art and the decorative arts, thereby prefiguring modernism in the Nordic countries. Japanese paintings and colour prints were also instrumental in developing the visual arts, while porcelain, ceramics, textiles, lacquerware, and similar goods from Japan inspired designers and craftsmen to develop new aesthetic idioms. The exhibition will show around 400 objects inspired by Japanese design, as well as 200 paintings and woodcuts.</div>

The curators for the exhibition are Widar Halén and Vibeke Waallann Hansen. The curators for the exhibition at the Finnish National Gallery Ateneum, where the exhibition is currently on display, are Gabriel P. Weisberg and Anna-Maria von Bonsdorff.</div>
