"Artist Talk" at Edvard Munch`s Studio, EKELY, OSLO, NORWAY, October 26, 2014

Sunday October 26 at 3 pm, "Artist Talk" at Edvard Munchs`s Studio, with visual artist Calina Pandele Yttredal and art historian Anne Kristine Sollund. Among the topics: Yttredal`s use of trees, nature and windows in her paintings and lighting installations. Windows can be seen as openings to the world, and trees may be associate to nature`s cycle. Yttredal`s 10 m long public art commission on acrylic glass will be mounted directly on a glass façade in Northern Norway. The painting will communicate with the nature and interact with the changeable light depending on the time of the day, weather and seasons. What is reality? What is illusion?Arthistorical references are sometimes present in the artist's subconscious, - or is it maybe just so that art historians find things which are not there?  We are also looking for the symbolism of nature in Edvard Munchs art.
