Three Norwegian Artists July 26, 2007

'Three Norwegian Artists' features the works of three artists with distinctly different artistic styles. Jonny Andvik is a contemporary figurative painter in his native Norway and one of the foremost of his generation. Dagfinn Bakke (born 1933) is a painter, illustrator and graphic artist. His preferred medium is watercolor. Its fluidity lends itself to the interpretation of the sky and the Northern Lights, which are prominent themes in his work. Elling Reitan (born 1949) is considered one of the leading contemporary artists in Norway. A recurrent theme is the picture within a picture, which is one of Reitan's favorite compositional principles.
