style

While some early works, in figurative works as well as in his Norwegian landscapes of the 1960s and 70s, still hint at formal and content-related references to Edvard Munch , the later works find their starting point in the tension between the late work of Lovis Corinth and the works of Kokoschka. Without ever losing sight of the diverse forms of contemporary art creation, he never saw the need to adapt to given daily trends and isms and to pay tribute to an often questionable zeitgeist. The spiritual home of his artistic concern is the expressionism of classical modernism.
