The interview discusses Odd Nerdrum's life, the driving forces that formed his work, what influenced him, the painters that were inspirational to him and the public debate that derived from his brutal breaking away from the politically-correct view of modern art.
Only few artists in history carry the ability to transcend history. They shape the future while still living, often scorned and misunderstood by their own contemporaries. We speak of these artists centuries after their passing: Rembrandt and his dramatic earth-hued scenes that impart life to dead canvas, the lush sensuality of Rubens, Raphael’s harmonious studies of depth, Caravaggio's realism and burning light that shines from another dimension.
They captured Europe's glorious days on canvas - the spiritual and vibrant explosion of new understandings, knowledge and science that permitted the innovations of Western Civilization to take root.
The transcendental language of figurative art, that proved most potent under the great masters, still challenges the individual. Figurative art brought inspiring innovation, development and deep reflection, yet today scorned for not embracing "modernism". A study of Odd Nerdrum draws us close to the core of the schism.
