In ‘Carl Fredrik – a collection of prints’, the artist will show selections from two series of prints: “A Union of Sorts” and “Universe”. All the prints are handmade, so that each individual print is a unique statement.
Through the pressure applied by hand and with a wooden spoon, the line and the forms are individually treated so that they attain the desired effect, i.e., from strong pressure — to give maximum colouring, or rendered very loose to gain more lightness and atmosphere. This technique plays an important role regarding the subject matter of each print - the solid versus the ethereal, and, further, in giving the prints a personal tone.
Carl Fredrik was born in Oslo, Norway. He has an MFA in Painting from Parsons School of Design, Los Angeles, Paris and New York. He has had numerous one-man shows in Scandinavia and New York. His major artistic expression is through painting, but he also works with prints, sculpture and photos.
