About The Artwork

Membership of NBK ( Norwegian visual artists ) BKO ( visual artists in Oppland ) I live and work in the rural countryside outside Oslo, Norway. My paintings have a strong influence of nature and the Scandinavian light. About my paintings: To start a painting is like stepping into the white surface of untouched snow. To paint is to leave colored traces within a limited area. The marks and tracks expand the pictorial space and lift the surface. The canvas becomes an arena where time ans space are erased and float into each other. The marks then become part of the history, and time evolves as a new dimension. My encounter with landscape and nature give rise to all my paintings. These encounters are processed and transformed, to then be reproduced as an abstract form of reality. That is why I like to say that my paintings are memories from non-existent landscapes. I want to create an emotional space, not reproduce reality. I use color to build space, not classical perspective lines. Layer upon layer of color, some transparent, others opaque, forms the substance of the paintings and carries the history you sense but cannot see. Maybe you will be able to see movement relative to standstill, the troubled relative to the quiet, distance relative to closeness, and that some of this will evoke memories of your own experiences from hidden and forgotten landscapes.

Bjørnar Aaslund is an abstract painter who likes to define his work as memories of non-existent landscapes. Through the destruction of the subject where composition and perspective are broken down into rhythms, surfaces and brush strokes, Aaslund focuses on the intuitive reading of nature and his own surroundings. By using repetitions, different directions in brush strokes as well as different depth effects, he creates abstract landscapes that alternate between something recognisable and at the same time completely unknown. Always working from memory, Aaslund combines what he has seen with subjective experiences and moods, approaching different landscapes in an abstract language, with layer upon layer of color, some transparent, others opaque, forming the substance of the paintings. Based in Norway, Bjørnar Aaslund is a member of the NBK, Norske billedkunstnere (Norwegian Visual Artists Association) and LNM, Landsforeningen Norske malere ( Association of Norwegian painters)
