Observingarts: Marco Evaristti / LANDSCAPES & CITYSCAPES / 29.01.16 at Galleri Christoffer Egelund

Image: "The Randul Thermal Project" by Marco Evaristti, 2015 Landscapes Last year, in April 2015, Evaristti completed the fifth project in his comprehensive land scape painting projects,  when painting an Icelandic geysir red using fruit colour. In 2013 the ”canvas” was a frozen waterfall in Norway.  Hanging in a rope from the top edge of the waterfall, Evaristti succeeded in painting it piece by piece,  a small container with the colour on his back and a simple, manual pump system that he used  while working his way the 70 meters down the fall. The painting of landscapes, using the landscape  itself as canvas, took its beginning in 2004 in Greenland. Evaristti, in minus 23 degrees, mounted  a drifting iceberg and workedfor four hours with a fire extinguisher hose as his brush,  until the entire iceberg was covered in red fruit colour. He then declared ”This Iceberg is mine”, and left it again.  The second and third project took place on the summit of Mont Blanc in 2007 and in the Sahara in 2008. Read more

JOSÉ LOUIS SÁNCHEZ RULL

Ice King II, 2013, Oil on canvas, 250 x 200 cm

Much untamed energy in these paintings. Creativity, craft and untamed will to express, all combined. 

Thoughts go to Pollock, throw in some Schwitters and .............. 

Any frame is probably to small - 2,5 x 2 meters!! - for these pictures!

Good luck in Miami!

Observingarts: PATRIK ANDINÉ Look inside November 7 at Lars Bohman Gallery

Herr Byxlös, 2015, oil on canvas, 83 x 75 cm

Patrik Andiné has been true to his iconography ever since his debut in the early 1990’s.
He has gradually and with focus gained a self- evident place in the Swedish contemporary art scene.

One can associate Patrik Andiné with symbolism and classicism. His interest for drapings and depicting pleated fabric makes you think of renaissance masters like Piero della Francesca or baroque geniuses like Bernini.

People are his primary motives even if we sometimes only discerns traces they left behind in the landscape. Along with a subtile sence of humor Andiné charges his paintings at times with a peculiar erotic feel. In his imagery the unspoken is often the most prominent.

- There is a narrative in everything I do - even if I try to make the stories incomprehensible.

Observingarts: Ladies night

The previous years we have seen important but well underexposed, female artist re-entering the Scandinavian art scene: Gerda Wegener, Hilma af Klint and Anna-Eva Bergmann. To mention a few. Hopefully this trend continues on a Scandinavian level. There are more: Irma Salo Jæger (2:52 on timeline) to mention another important painter.  Female painters are important mid century innovators leaving behind productions of high quality and with lots of relevance for new generations. 

This re-discovery contributes to the artscene. I look forward to presenting more in this blog as they re enter the gallery and museum scenes in Scandinavia and abroad. When will we see the first attempt to match Munch with female c(ontemporary) artists in Norway? There are gems still to be re discovered - or plainly to be re introduced to new audiences.

Observingarts: Willas Contemporary - inaugural exhibition by Steinar Christensen - Still Lifes.

Steinar Christensen – Kerberos Past 2015

Steinar Christensen - Still Lifes

8th of October - 4th of November 2015

Christensen’s work opens for both paradoxical constellations and existential situations. And they suggest that even a still life can serve as a silent echo of the state of our civilisation. His works are included in numerous private and museum collections, such as the National Gallery, the Henie Onstad Art Centre, Oslo Municipality’s Art Collection, Statoil Art Collection and the Norwegian Cultural Council. More at Willas
