For the first time since the Retrospective at the Astrup Fearnley Museum in 1998, an Odd Nerdrum solo exhibition is on display in Norway. Sixty paintings made in the past twenty years are hanging on the walls of the Fineart Oslo gallery, and we decided to go their before the opening to show you around!

In this video you will learn about:
- Achieving the impression of movement
- “Shock effects” to push or pull figures in a certain direction
- “Bleeding lines” to craft a cohesive image
- Unifying figures into one organism to enhance the story
- Compositional importance of one dominant diagonal
- Rhythmic connection between all parts of a painting
- Building form through warm/cool contrasts
- Handling of paint, rather than strong contrasts
