Marit Victoria Wulff Andreassen: Through the Woods

I have never seen this much people at an exhibition opening at Stavanger art museum. Apparently I was not the only one considering this an opportunity not to miss: A solo exhibition by Marit Victoria Wulff Andreassen, introduced by art historian Gunnar Danbolt.

Probably nobody has ever drawn as many penises and vaginas as Wulff Andreassen has. And nobody is able to make it look as beautiful, intriguing, ornamental and delicate as she is able to. Objects and titles that in most other contexts would be considered obscene and repulsive, become wonderful and magical.

I spent a long time in the exhibition halls, smiling more and more for each picture. Each drawing is filled with beauty, humor and a serious undertone. In the end I felt as I had been to a great party, having eaten too many delicious cakes.
