NORWEGIAN ...
Norwegian legal landscapes was an exhibition I had in autumn 2003
I think it was. All the paintings had a letter enclosed, copies of original
legal documents and most had been in court. All the documents were
shown as if hidden in a glacier were no one would find them, ever.
As it is a glacier can melt down, we all know that today ... .
Well, what happened was interesting, my lawyer asked me, "Do you
dare do this? " before the exhibition had opened. I just laughed as it
was too late to shoot me. Everything was ready and on it´s feet.
No one could stop the exhibion being shown. Some did try.
A bit later the chairman of the artcenter told me that importent lawyers
in the community would close down the exhibiton!
Suddenly they were outside their court and were without any power.
Did I enoy this, YES!
You know, when you put anything on paper it´s there for ever, the
lawyers did not had this in mind, neither had my family when they
where at their worst. As an artist one knows and loves that, always.
Details, org. size: 35 cm x 37cm, documents on paper, oil and wax, all on canvas.

THEBALL ...
kicking
the Lump.
That
is not correct or is it?
What a bad photo, sorry. It has to do with the ball, I know nothing about balls.

SHUTUP!
HOLD KJEFT = shut up
as now it all starts, is appropriate.
Everyone have something clever to say this
part of the year. The king and his family are very
sincere and sweet, and kind to us all. An antique rubbish collection.
The church use their power for all it is worth, the one day in the year the churches are packed with
praying people.
Politicians will tell us a lot of nonsense and the
people in the streets will tell us about their life
now, in the end of december.
Interesting?
Hardly.
Food?
I am fed up
with all fat food and do not eat it.
And at last what I do this time of year, the
same as I do the rest of the year, nothing!
Sehr schön.

FINGERFOOD...
or food for the fingers is that correct?
I prefer being correct and know that " an apple a day ... "
but I say a potato a day keeps all hell away. Potatoes are
superb if you eat it all, and with a green appetizer like shown.
A glass or more glasses of red wine are preferable,
good for your health.
I serve my potato on Magni Jensen´s lovely pottery
plate paced on a french plane Pillivuit porcelaine plate
adding the correct affix to the divine potato.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

SOWHAT?
Christmas, in my diningroom it does not look like it?
This room does not invite anyone to anything. Cosy,
sorry but it is not and has never been cosy.
Food, what about food?
No one have have ever had a great meal at this table.
Just two chairs, no, there are more cold, uncomfortable
chairs, good for the eye and not for the bottom. I love
the chairs! No one sits too long at this table ...
and one more thing, I have never owned a tablecloth!

SPEECHLESS...
yes, this really makes me speechless.
Nothing man made and no sound or smell of civilisation.
Enjoy!

WITHOUTANY
real meaning as this photo don´t say anything.
A bit of my stuff as tape, mouse, my glasses, the Mac, the printer, all boring stuff one needs for doing this and that. On TV it is skiing and the radio God is on one channel and refugees are on my favorite channel. I hate skiing, God and I are not friends and I am fed up with refugees. I could use the phone and talk with friends but I am not a fan of phones and not the one I have. Red dots appear on the screen and red dots is frustrating. I could run around in the house with the dogs, up and down the 4 floors but am too lazy so the dogs are sleeping. One of the two dogs are not mine, the owners are in South Africa that is why she stays with me and my dog. Looking out of the window I can see that the weather looks promising, may be the dogs and I should go for a walk, may be? I must think it over, it is best to think it over and not just do it as it might began to snow and snow is boring to walk through. Snow is heavy stuff!

BABYBABY
BABY LUMP is actually new born! Lovely?
Lovely, hardly lovely and red, a red Lump is an angry Lump.
To be sweet and lovely is rather hard work and makes one mad,
in another word angry when it is a jobb. A baby´s jobb is to be sweet
and lovely day in and day out.
Poor Lump is a better name for this individual, poor baby Lump.

SPINNING
Lump is spinning and spinning and spinning and who knows when
the Lump will stop spinning.
Remember, the Lump is just one among a lot of dumb and lame lumps
spinning around for one reason or another.
Christmas, shit, has christmas anything to do with that?
Acrylic spray paint on paper, size 16cm x16cm

THESTRONGLUMP
is very strong and
the strongest Lump
in the world is
a happy Lump.
This Lump is an
expert in lifting
invisible objects.
The bigger the invisible
object, the better!
The Lump was
admired by huge
masses all
around the world.
When some asked
what the lifted object was,
the Lump did not
answer.
The Lump wasn´t only
the strongest Lump
but the wisest
Lump as well!
Good for the Lump.

WHATIS,
what is this?
I love this photo. It looks like nothing is going on in this picture and the opposite
is the reality. It is from Esebotn as usual, from the ground one walks on.
The straw here and there and a bit of grass is visible. What else is there is a secret,
even for me.

FUN,
yes, just for fun! Serious fun all about fitness in Sogndal. The photo is
manipulated just as we are manipulated every day by each other and
our surroundings. To be fit and to fit in are two different things and must
not be misunderstand. Still, to be be fit helps you to fit in. Does it or
doesn´t it, I am not sure but shit what do I know?

AGAINANDAGAIN...
a photo from Esebotn.
Beautifull Esebotn is amazing and forces me see new ways of working on canvases. You might see the result at VULKAN 2016, in the drive in artgallery happening.
Our space on the net, driveinartgallery.com will be standing up and walk about later this winter, hopefully!

HIPPHIPP
out working hard and very busy. As always in Esebotn and this time we met some young men so proud and showing us their game, shot the same morning. HippHipp was impressed as the deer had a big head with a lot of stuff on it´s head. That was new for HippHipp but I have seen it before. We call it gevir but I am not sure what you call it in english. Gevir is actually a german word. Well, HippHipp hope to find a
second deer in between the stones it looks like. That was not at all any success!
She did not know that the game she had seen was much to big to hide between
the stones. For HippHipp game is game and might as well hide here too.

IT`S A ...
I just had to ... . Sometimes it´s better to let things be than to stir it all up again. Somebody have forgotten this. Well, thanks to the lawyer I´m thinking about my adrenalinkick is at it´s peak. Not a good thing for my surroundings but for me it´s better than good. This year has been a success in more ways than one, and the article in VG Helg was most wellcome. Visitors to my gallery have inspired to new ideas and new ways of working. A project for 2016 is under work and a letter from a lady led me on the road to the tunnel. It´s a secret as all good ideas are in the beginning!

WINTER
in the Fjætlaqndsfjord, is a painting on canvas in acrylic and oil in wax, size
is 120 x 150 cm. My darling sisters are fixed by value and to own. They worked
hard by the Tingrett (norwegian court) to own me and everything I produce. They
did not succed. My work still belongs to me and will always belong to me until I sell.
And I sell. This season has been better than ever.
The painting above goes to Bergen.
Suddenly I wonder, shall I call it " The frozen family value "?
It reminds me of the temperature in the family, of my sisters and most of their
posh offsprings.
It is cold but a piece of frozen nature can never be as cold as a greeedy family.
The family farm looked poorly, it looks like the owners are not able to keep it,
just to own it. They cannot afford it all, I quess ...

PASSÈ
and peculiar oldies are thrown out of the active society in Norway today. Oldies are peculiar if they want to do what they always have done, work. We are not welcome as a working force!
The labour party, it must have been their idea to forbid oldies based on age, to do anything.
Who can continue to live without doing something?
This old and broken down silo in Esebotn must be the perfect place to throw
a lot of oldies, it´s empty inside and there are a lot of space here!
Even the old and promising might find something to do ... how to get out?
Please, don´t tell anyone, it could become reality and till now it´s a secret.

ESEBOTN
is the name of the end
in a way. Understand me right
it is not my end but
the end of the Esefjord where
the land rises and it rises up
into mountains more than
a 1000 meters!
It is the most amazing
surroundings with peaks all around
this idyllic path just now
in it´s spring colours.
I was there with HipHip,
my dog today and who enjoyed
it the most, were both of us.
The white spots in top of the photo
are snowpatches up in the
mountainside, melting and small
streams of running water are
all around some tiny and
some growing
bigger and bigger on the
way down and into the fjord.

SØSTRENESISTERS
minus the oldest, met with lawyers and all of us wanted to gain the most ... .
As always there were 3 against 1 and the 1 is me! We all have dogs, the only thing we have in common are the dogs. The 3 sisters have lovely shooting dogs and I have lurker, a lurkerterrier but not the one on the painting.
As expected the great lawyer from Larvik, Steinar Sørlie was there. He wanted to grab my hand, polite he is but I denied to shake it. Who shake hands with the one who tried to rob you from your liberty?
He and my sisters tried twice and I told him why he had to keep his hand to himself.
Then he accused me for being naughty, naughty before and naughty now!
This is in norwegian:
Steinar Sørlie, norgesmester i Dobbeltrepresentasjon sier til meg at jeg er uforskammet?
Vel, vel er jeg uforskammet så er han en kjeltring og med Advokatforeningens velsignelse får han fortsette sine kjeltringstreker. All ære til Advokatforeningen og Steinar Sørlie!!!

Later, the nett connection behaves as there are unvelcome visitors so I´ll leave it for a while ...

THEBUNCH
and I tagging along and making the streets of Balestrand an artscene! Balejazz is at it´s peak and the village are boiling by music and the art we have done.
The avKnap project has stated to be what I had hoped for and more. A main newspaper has been here and so has another newspaper, Bergens Tidene on the west coast. The drains in the streets are a gorgeous place to do artwork, as it becomes art around art. Sogn Avis, the local newspaper´s Eirik, the journalist has been here as well!
The bunch, four 14 years old guys are my good friends and thanks to them it all went smooth, lucky me that has some true friends ...
