Odsherred and the
Art.
To paint landscapes is a bit
different from my normal way of working, but it is at the same
time a fine way to immerse myself in memories from my childhood in
Odsherred.
Many, many years ago when I was
about 4 or 5 years old, I met my first painter. He sitting just
round the corner near our summerhouse with his easel and a palet
with so many beautiful and alluring colors. They made a very big
impression on me, I still remember the green and the cinnoberred.
I was standing there, my head was in niveau with his palet, and it
was really a revelation to see the colors especially the
cinnoberred and the light yellow. His name was Kalle
Bovin, and his was a very extraodinary painter from the area. When
I grew up I met many of the painters up there like Holmer Trier
and Poul S. Nielsen.
Of course in those days I had
absolutely no precognition that I myself would be an artist
some day. Normally I work with other projects and problems in my
artistic life, but I like to show my respect to these painters who
made my childhood more beautiful by painting the landscapes that
made so big an impact on me and my eyes in those days. So actually
my landscapes are momories. Memories from long ago. I also rather
quickly discovered that the painting of landscapes is run by the
same rules as other forms of visual art.
Below here you can see examples
of the art from the old painters from Odsherred, who still are a
big inspiration through their clever and sensitive description of
the landscape.
