Delivering time tomorrow!

Tomorrow my drawing project is due for delivery. I am looking forward to see it myself tomorrow, -have had the weekend off for myself, Oslo Open and friends.

Finished the drawing on Thursday. It has been a fun project, and I have learned a lot! I feel inspired, and think I have found several things about this that I want to keep working with. The scene, -as many of you might have noticed, is one I have used a lot of time developing. I will keep working with it, also in other ways of expressing the thoughts and feelings around this. Drawing on the wall is magical! Going big is really great, but also a great challenge.

"Tribute to the city"

My tribute to the city

My mother was very surprised to observe that I was drawing apartment buildings when asked to draw "a house" as a child. Her perception of a house was one with four windows, a door, a pitched roof and a pipe with smoke coming out of it.

My perception of a house, and further, of a place to live is complex. I love my Oslo, and I love cities in general. I hope to be able to see more great ones, and to visit some of the ones i know again. Cities often get criticized for being inhuman, -there might be something in that, but I am more interested in the good sides of the city. The fact that I can choose to be who I want to be and do what I like to do, and still be anonymous enough to be able to keep away from the energies that wants to hurt you, like jealousy, hate and fear.

Perspective is not only what I see, but is also influenced by my state of mind, the people I meet, my experiences and my personality. The perspective in my drawing is twisted and strange, -but not obviously wrong. With this I want to point out how different our perspectives can be, but that one is not necessarily more correct than the other.

There is some inspirations and references that should be mentioned:
David Hockney has done some great stuff. I am looking a bit into his work after my drawing teacher mentioned his polaroid pieces in reference to my drawing.
Pøbel and Dolk and steetart in general is a great inspiration.
Hundertwasser has been with me since I started last year.
