Just the way Joakim described the experience of watching Nerdrum put down two dots on top of a blob, had me cracking up :D

I'm amazed and dazzled by the depth of imagery Odd comes with-i guess ill have to paint for beauty.

scraping the canvas after each painting session leaves ephemeral bits of paint that create the effect of painting air. Colour and space are comprised of much of what is light itself...to achieve this with pigment..you cannot paint solid...you paint...scrape, lightly brush, then add more colour and scrape again....over time...the you create the effect of light and air...of the space between you and something else.
