ARTIST IN RESIDENCE AT EDVARD MUNCH `S STUDIO AT EKELY, Oslo 2014

October 1st 2014 I move into Edvard Munch's large studio at Ekely, where a month ahead I will work with a public art commissioned by Radius Kirkenes, about 10 m long painting on glass in a technique which I developed, with iridescent and transparent media on acrylic glass, which interact with light. Special atmosphere to work at Munch´s studio, which is located a few minutes away from where i live. Here I findthe right state of mind, like a timelessdialogue.

As sitting on Munch`s chaiselongue in the emptystudio, the glassplates arrived, 40 kg each. We had to wear gloves to protect the surface. I checked that they were shaed after the outline ogf the mountain in Northern Norway, just after my sketches. Scaffolding had to be made to keep the glass plates upright and stable, so I could paint on them.

I will also show other works during this period. Opening reception Saturday October 11 at 1 pm.
