Norwegian nature in woodprints
From the deep forests of Norway comes an artist with deep rooted motives on wood prints. Symbols and pictograms pointing to the iron age rock carvings, but also to the more present olympic games on Lillehammer, but with a twist of humor. The bicycles have moose heads, like the dragon head on viking ships, the sportsmen are rather too sporty, wawing their limbs in impossible ways, and the chess players are playing with trees. This is a breath of fresh air, smelling of forest, fun and history.
