Tor Hvamen shows paintings in Galleri Heer. Dimensions varies from 240x180 cm to 60x60 cm .
Som points of referace to these works could be :
-How the tradition of vanitas stillife use pictoral elements as metaphors
-the ornamental painting
-the surreal painting
-the early - painting way of putting pictoral elements together in an tableau - like way , regardless of their dimensions , and their position in time and space .
The work with the paintings always starts with improvisation , establishing a kind of caos surface , based entirely on material , tools and process . Then starts the search for interesting graphical rythems and signs , much like Askeladden , who on impuls collects interesting items on his way to the princess . The first associations points out the direction for the work with the motif
. The proportions between the caos surface and the moore refined perts of the painting varies a lot from painting to painting . All paintings are carried out in acrylic paint on wood .
