THE CONCEPT FOR THE NEXT EXHIBITION

 

This exhibition will reflect the environment in which I have lived for many years, in Noway, the country that I discovered as a child, and where I have established my studio and resided for more than thirty years.

​

During all these years in Norway, I have subconsciously been influenced by my surroundings, the landscape, and indigenous variations in form and color. It is almost mysterious, the way that these impressions surface in my compositions.

​

However, the fact that I was born and raised, and that I studied in a metropolis – Paris – has meant that my universe also contians elements and symbols from these more urban life experiences.

​

I will be using different materials in this forthcoming exhibition. Primarily, I will utilize traditional techniques, which I will combine in my paintings, graphic works and collages.

I experiment with various art forms to express my feelings. Often, a key element in my work is how I experiment with the effects of light. These effects are strengthened through contrast: glossy or non-glossy, structures which are rough or smooth, shimmering effects using gold leaf or bronze powder, details which are monotone against dark fragments of color.

​

My aim is to produce an exhibition that will fascinate and surprise the viewing public.

 

I want people to experience a sense of aesthetic meditation and poetic emotions in the abstract and figurative forms that I use.

 

During these times of turbulence and violence, I want my art to promote a sense of peace and harmony.
