About The Artwork

What many intend as critique has been adopted by Bergen as a symbol of pride. Namely; rain. The perpetual downpour has become as much a local icon as the other more obvious examples. This painting is the result of countless painting studies in the rain. Umbrellas blowing inside out, canvas panels warping and bubbling, palettes soaking wet and deemed unusable. But the opportunities to observe and persevere are fortunately frequent. Eventually, one begins to see qualities previously unnoticed. While many hurry by head down, the undeniable beauty of the falling water remains. The way that it bounces when it is heavy. The way it acts as atmosphere adding depth. The way it catches the light giving it volume. This painting is an attempt to pay homage to Bergen and to nature.

A good painting is a most beautiful object. The preparation of the canvas, the composition, the lighting, the palette, the brushstrokes, the texture, and the subject should all be treated with the utmost reverence. I am always pushing myself and always trying to achieve something new with every painting. Conceptually and stylistically my collection seems jagged and unconnected, but it is always in an endeavor to move forwards. To create beautiful objects. If my latest painting is not a step forward, it is a failure. Born in Gisborne, New Zealand, in 1986, I have always been painting. From 2004 – 2008 I studied architecture at the University of Auckland and after that moved to Norway to join MIR. I have studied under many artists along the way, most recently with Odd Nerdrum, here in Norway.
