Intention <br /> <br /> meaning: Good question, I would call it a collage of clichés, as an atheist I like to play with the religious pathos, and in my art, I like to use some of the things you find in the old masters art, big emotions beautiful objects. <br /> <br /> As a reaction to an art world that is often based Art theology and relativism, where the idea and not the quality is at the center. <br /> <br /> But I try to paint them as beautiful and so picturesque that it itself hides the underlying irony and thus can create a conflict and kognetiv disonanse for the viewer. <br /> <br /> Personally I'm more interested in science than art, when the new art is found in the sciences. <br /> Let it be said that I find all the art in which execution is supporting the work interesting .. <br /> <br /> And no, I do not believe in angels <br /> <br /> I work in figurative painting, using Goethe's color theory as a starting point for my use of color <br /> ... that is Red, Yellow and Blue as the base color (Color Circle)! <br /> <br /> When I asked what I'm working on as a subject, I usually reply that I work with <br /> Objects, often taken from nature as well as people and landscapes! <br /> The aim of my paintings is still the painting / the picturesque. <br /> The objects are the means! <br /> <br /> What I want to achieve is to penetrate as far as possible into myself and push my abilities so that it <br /> at one time or another occurs aesthetics / poetry! <br /> <br /> A good painting will give a sense of meaning, on a par with music, philosophy, poetry, <br /> literature and especially science! <br /> <br /> My project is to create quality items! <br /> <br /> <br /> It is a project of an entire lifetime. <br /> <br /> Knut André Vikshåland <br /> <br />Facebook <br />https://www.facebook.com/pages/Knut-Andre-Viksh%C3%A5land/195727148778?ref=hl <br /> <br /> <br />https://www.facebook.com/pages/Artist-Painter-Knut-Andre-Viksh%C3%A5land-on-Art-Science-Politics-Religion/233000806796872
