Some art, in spite of being made by an obviously inspired, skilled, talented, knowledgeable and hard working artist, just doesn’t ring a bell with me.
Which is the case with Steinar Haga Kristensen’s show Bruine periode – Liegen en opscheppen (Brown Period – Lying and Bragging) presently at 1646.
It may have something to do with the somewhat dilapidated style of painting, old fashioned expressionist and a bit folk-arty, colourful but worn out and a bit empty.
But well, do take a look for yourself. If you feel inspired by these pictures, you may draw different conclusions..
