Narrative

I was playing around with narrative a while ago and tried som things out, some pieces had a bit too much information, so they got put aside for a while. This piece jumped on my easel this last week, and ended up dealing more with light than narrative.
"Obsidiman in chair". Oil on board, 28x30 cm

Helmet of the Undead

Went to the State gallery the other night and got stuck looking at a painting by LeBrun. Was amased at the lack of detail there actually is and how cunnigly your eye is guided and led to believe there is a lot more details than there is. Inspired by his colour composition I finished off a painting that was waiting for me, to let my mind play around with the concepts the LeBrun painting sparked.

Hatchlings

I have for a long time had an obsession ( I seem to get obsessed about wierd things, boats, the colours of the sky at night) with how a society, like that of the T´skrang of the Earthdawn universe, would surround their babies and the birth of new life with ritual and meaning. In todays globalised society as well as local culture we have set rituals and traditions that are very unique, how unique wouldnt a culture centered around the hatching of an egg be? Lately ive been working with this piece i call "The Hatchlings" to see if I can work through these thoughts and find some kind of satisfactory interpretation.
I really enjoy these kind of paintings, where you give the viewer a look into something more akin to everyday life and culture. These help me give more meaning to the more action oriented pieces I do.
