hopplahey

My drawings for next years regional (Northern Norway) exhibit was admitted. A wonderfull thing! It’s funny how things work out. My intention with these drawings was to take a step away from the work I’d been doing with watercolours. To somehow start an approach towards the rational. There is little more human than the line. So I use it to divorce drawing from the gestural. But the gestural still appears in tone variations that I deliberately make to break down my initial choice in form. It gives the shape a sensation of being an object. It also numbs the fear of the void.

A big poster I’m trying to have admitted for a show on scetchbooks in Oslo at Tegnerforbundet this autumn. These juryed shows are a bit of a gamble but I’m leaving no rocks unturned. The drawings are from the turn of the century. Weird stuff really. My angle on art was at the time pretty feverish and unmeditated but I feel they are pretty close to the term expressionism in the way that the drawings convey the raw personality of myself. To me any mark on paper is interesting especially marks without established purpose.
