Another study from Christiania friAkademi.
I like to work with fairly small studies, so that it does not take too long and so that I can’t get lost in detail. This one is less than 10x10cm.
Here’s one of my studies from Christiania friAkademi this fall. Oil on canvas. Approximately 40 cm tall.
The beauty of nature! Autumn is a wonderful season.
The Golden Section and Fibonacci’s numbers are so amazing. The beauty of it is stunning, the beauty of abstracting nature to the core is overwhelming.
I am always fascinated by the simplicity of pencil and paper.
I’ll be showing a couple of drawings at the show: studies of head with garment/turban, and perhaps a painting.
I have studied under Jan Cato Bøttger, the head master of Christiania friAkademi, for some years, at times only in the evenings, and in periods, when possible, part- or full time. It started with evening classes back when I was 14 or 15, back in the early 80’s.
I remember coming home to my mother after the first evening with a study of a beautiful muscular mans legs and behind. She was flabbergasted, to say the least. I simply replied “- but mum, this is art”.
