Living at Frogner in Oslo the walking distance to popular galleries is very short. This evening one of the returning artists at
Gallery Haaken opened an exhibition of paintings from 2009 to 2011.
Ørnulf Opdahl born in Ålesund 1944 is among Norway´s most famous painters. His works at Haaken today follow mostly the traditional Opdahl style, but for me some "new" expressions caused strong feelings.
One of the paintings is called "Winter Light Alnes". Made in 2009, 175 x 175 prize 200k nok. The exhibition´s most intriguing painting. On
his website a smaller version called "Alnes Autumn"(40 x 40) can be found.
The second best work through my eyes is "Fjord Landscape" 2009, 70 x 240 prize 165k nok. One of the exhibition´s most beautiful paintings, and could have decorated at least one of the walls in my apartment.
Congratulation Ørnulf, you have made it once more.
