Håkon Gullvåg – Antimonologar

eru eini 50 oljumálningar, sum listamaðurin hevur lánt til

og Jan Kjærstad rithøvundur skrivað bók, ið telur
100 síður, og sum er á norskum, føroyskum og enskum.
Allis Helleland, stjóri á Nasjonalmuseet for Kunst, Arkitektur
og Design í Oslo, setir framsýningina. Håkon Gullvåg
og Eva Furseth verða hjástødd.
Framsýningin er partur av einari ferðaframsýning millum fimm
samstarvandi mentanarstovnar í Danmark, Noregi og Føroyum.
Håkon Gullvåg er norðmaður og føddur í 1959.
Í meiri enn 30 ár hevur hann havt eina serstøðu í
listarliga lívinum í heimlandinum við sínum serstøku
og ógvuliga persónligu myndum. Alla yrkisleiðina hevur hann
arbeitt í einum figurativum myndamáli, ið liggur onkustaðni
millum klassisismu, ekspressiónismu og surrealismu. Súmbolløddu
myndevnini í sterkum litum og teir eyðkendu, splintraðu formarnir
hava stóra ávirkan. Soleiðis er eisini við hesari framsýning,
ið snýr seg um trý av hansara týdningarmestu aðalevnum:
Andlitsmyndir, stólar og kirkjulist.
Stólamyndirnar hava altíð ligið Håkon Gullvåg
nær at hjarta. Her hugleiðir hann atfinnandi um egin barndómsminni
og setir teir ungu figurarnar í hvíldarstólin, har teir
næstan hvørva í heimsins stóru siðvenjum og krøvum.
Hann viðger kirkjulistina eftir miðaldargomlum siðvenjum við
at býta javnt millum Gamla og Nýggja Testamentið og leggur
samstundis nýggj listarlig fyribrigdi aftur at væl kenda listasøguliga
tilfarinum, ið fær okkum at uppliva myndevnini sum viðkomandi
samfelagsviðmerkingar. Og hvat øllum andlitsmyndunum viðvíkur
er tað sjáldsamt at síggja ein listamann fanga persónligheitina
hjá modellunum á ein so tekniskt framúrskarandi hátt.
Tað er við tankanum um, at hvørt einasta listaverk hevur tætt
samband bæði við persónligheitir úr søguni
og við okkum samtíðarmenniskju, at hann leggur dent á
sítt søkjandi og grundleggjandi dialogiska samband við umheimin
undir heitinum – Antimonologar.
Listasavn Føroya takkar Evu Furseth og verkætlanarleiðsluni
á Kunstkontoret í Tróndheimi fyri gott samstarv umframt
Nordisk Kulturfond fyri gávumilda stuðulin, ið gjørdi
hesa framsýning til veruleika.
Framsýningin endar sunnudagin 26. oktobur 2008.
Håkon Gullvåg – Antimonologar
On Friday the 29th of August at 17.00 o´clock, The Faroe Islands Art
Museum opens an exhibition featuring Håkon Gullvåg. The exhibition
features 50 oil paintings which the artist has lent to the exhibition. In connection
with the exhibition, art historian Eva Furseth and writer Jan Kjærstad
have written a book. The book is in Norwegian, Faroese and English and is 100
pages. Allis Helleland, the director of The National Museum of Art, Architecture
and Design in Oslo, will open the exhibition. Håkon Gullvåg and
Eva Furseth will both be present at the opening.
The exhibition is part of an exhibition tour between five cultural institutions
in partnership in Denmark, Norway and The Faroe Islands.
Håkon Gullvåg is Norwegian and born in 1959. For over 30 years
Gullvåg has had a special role in the artistic society in his homeland
due to his individual and personal works. During his career he has worked with
a figurative language which may be reflected in classicism, expressionism and
surrealism. Motifs charged with symbols in strong colurs and the characteristic
and splintered shapes have a huge influence. These characteristics are also
featured in this exhibition which is about three of his most important themes:
Portraits, chairs and church art.
The chair images have always been close to Gullvåg´s heart. Here
he reflects critically about his own childhood memories and places, the young
figures in the resting chair where they almost disappear in the great traditions
and demands of the world. He deals with the church art using medieval traditions
by dividing The Old Testament and The New Testament equally and at the same
time he adds new artistic phenomena to the well known material from art history.
By this the motifs make us aware about today´s society. Concerning the
portraits it is rare to find an artist who can capture the model´s personality
so technically beautiful. It is with this in mind, that every artwork is well
connected to historic personalities and to our contemporaries, that he stresses
his searchings and his basic dialogue with the surrounding world. Hence the
title - Antimonologues.
The Faroe Islands Art Museum would like to thank Eva Furseth and the project
management at Kunstkontoret in Trondheim for good partnership and also The Nordic
Cultural Fund for the gracious support which made this exhibition possible.
The exhibition ends on Sunday the 26th of October.
