The Choreography of Landscape painting, Kari Ann Lending, 24.08.-04.10.18
“How to paint and document a landscape that is in constant motion and transformation? How to translate the atmosphere of a natural environment into a painting? What movements does the landscape contain? What movements does the process of landscape painting depend on? I have worked with the landscape paintings surrounded by the mountains in Hunnedalen, Norway. The river has been flowing vividly a few meters further down the valley. I have been sitting in soft grass and pulled in the smell of summer and clear mountain air. A desire to stop, breathe, be present inhale the moment, the nature, my life. A desire to preserve and document a place that I love.”
