Art questions March 2023

 

Q: How important is explanation in art?

A: Explanation is not the experience.

We should focus on the works themselves, but that doesn't mean we should explain everything. It's you who's looking at the work of art and that's enough as the main experience.

Art is discovery. If you feel like you don't have the time, then you simply have to make the time.

This world is polluted with explanations. Take a step back and see how few people are actually talking about the experience itself.

Usually they're not doing that on videos online. Watching most of those "explained" videos is self abuse. Young people watch them too often.

The kingdom of art is in you.

Art questions February 2023

 

 The Fall of the House of Usher (1960)

Q: What is the hardest thing to draw?

A: Eyes. We detect and read minuscule movements in the eyes and eyelids. We look into eyes to see if anyone's there. To see what's going on.

Technique alone is not enough to bring a drawing to life. Creating expressive eyes is a good way to exhibit artistic energy, whether they're realistic or non-realistic.

Carheart by Virus - 20 weird years

 

It took me too long to discover Ved Buens Ende and discovering Virus took even longer.

Like Snorre Ruch from Thorns, Carl-Michael Eide is one of the best guitarists in the world. Carheart is still my favourite from Virus.

Art questions January 2023

  

Q: Have you ever used drugs?

A: No. As an artist you face the real challenge when you are awake, sober and sane.

The last ten years have been the most creative. I have been on medication the whole time. It's not the highest dosage, but I wouldn't be here without it.

Most people who talk about medication and creativity don't know what they're talking about.

Figuring out the right medication and the right dosage takes time. If you feel like you're being less creative, don't just blame the medication.

If you have a mental illness, DO NOT TURN DOWN ALL MEDICATION AUTOMATICALLY. I cannot stress this enough.

Ten albums to be released next year

  

Five was just expanded to ten.

Albums 21 to 30 will be released each month in 2023. I'm making music under three different names. Everything is created by me.

This is my life and I'm going to be as creative as possible. And when I'm surrounded by people who clearly don't care about it, I want to be even more creative.

In 2023 I'm also recording my first audio commentary for a film.
