Echo

Akryl og bladgull på rund MDF

80 x 80 cm (dybde 3 cm).

Dette ble malt i 2021 til utstillingen “Lucid Dreaming”.

Echo var en fjellnymfe som forelsket seg i Narcissus. Han var kun opptatt av sitt eget speilbilde å svant hen - narciss blomster vokste opp der kroppen hans hadde ligget. Echo sørget til kun et ekko var igjen av henne. Echo er et eksempel på selvutslettende begjær. Kjærlighet kan oppleves både skjønn og grusom.

Acrylics and leaf gold on round MDF

80 x 80 cm (Depth 3 cm).

This was painted for the exhibition “Lucid Dreaming” in 2021.

Echo was a mountain nymph who fell in love with Narcissus. He was only concerned with his own reflection to fade away - narcissus flowers grew up where his body had lain. Echo made sure only one echo was left of her. Echo is an example of self-effacing desire. Love can be experienced as both beautiful and cruel.
