Graphic art

Get ready to be Pushwagnerized! It is the second time this autumn that art by Norwegian superstar Hariton Pushwagner is presented in Rogaland. In August Hå gamle prestegard presented the exhibition "Vertigo". Now Galleri Sult shows an exhibition in connection to the premiere of the movie about Pushwagner.

I have seen many of the pictures before, but a good story can be told several times. If you have not seen Pushwagner's work before, this exhibition will give you a certain glimpse of his world. At Hå gamle prestegard it was possible to get deeper into his world. The Galleri Sult exhibition offered a nice revisit to the visions of a world of a colorful totalitarian future.

There is a great hype about Pushwagner at the moment in relation to the movie "Pushwagner" by August B. Hanssen and Even G. Benestad. Pop art has become pop culture, the artist has rocketed from the gutter to the stars. There seems to always be fun and show when he is around, so just enjoy and get Pushwagnerized!
