about my work

I am working in different medias:

Painting, drawing, sculpture, photo, performance, video.

I work in series with different themes as: the daily-life, the weather, landscape, portrait, in different parts of the world.

My latest work is inspirated by asian and european religious pictures,  european and scandinavian fairy-tales and surealistic art.

INSTALLATION

An interactive installation: “Outsider” at Galleri 69, 2011 Norway.

2011 Outsider installasjon   2 Outsider tegning    3 Galleri 69 2011, the white cube, outsider

1 In a small dark room. The drawings on the wall could only be seen by a dynamo-tourchlight.

2 The drawings show the people making a film, at the bachdrop, not seeing on the screen.

3 Another room “the white cube” is one picture on the wall with all lights on it.

This Installation is a metaphore for the artworld, since so many artist and so mutch work of artist is never been seen, stays at the atelier, the backdrop.

 

Findart

Titel of my project was Findart, small clay sculptures, you must look carefully to find these in the landscape.

COMMISSION

I do like to paint and draw,

Most of time I make my own work.

But I also like to get some job as making a decoration or a portrait.

                 

In Cafe Amsterdam I made various decorations.

These paintings are some kind “hidden” in the cafe, you must look up or down to “catch” these.

 

                                                                     

Besides I was asked to paint a portrait of a friendly dog and a mysterious cat.
