ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In this artwork, a dynamic geometric figure, comprised entirely of vividly colored shapes, appears to be in a state of animated movement. It simultaneously bears the weight of a substantial cluster of multicolored dots atop what could be interpreted as its head. The artist has intricately woven into the composition a grid reminiscent of a city map, adding another layer of complexity.

Entitled “Oslo,” the painting prompts speculation that the geometric figure might serve as a symbolic representation of the city itself, cradling the population within its abstract form. This dual narrative, blending elements of humor and introspection, encourages viewers to contemplate their role as one of the many dots being supported by the city figure. The piece eloquently speaks to the profound interconnectedness shared by all inhabitants of the same urban space, seamlessly incorporating echoes of early modernist aesthetics to enrich its appeal.
