Jan-Ove Tuv sits down with two young painters who are currently studying with Odd Nerdrum to listen to their thoughts about their teacher, how he approaches painting and the greatest takeaways from being his pupil.

Unfortunately, there was a technical issue with Hösel’s microphone which got worse towards the ending.
