Henrik Uldalen’s “Rapture” at Last Rites Gallery.

Opening this Saturday, May 14th, 2016 at Last Rites Gallery in New York City, New York is Norwegian artist Henrik Uldalen’s brilliant solo show “Rapture.”

From the gallery’s press release: “‘Rapture’ is the artist’s painful, but liberating metamorphosis from a set of classical influences he’s grown up with.These newest works, Uldalen says, prevail over the sensation of what he terms a “nihilistic void” that has always accompanied his intensely detailed and emotionally disorienting figurative oil paintings. This series works out a handfu lof seemingly personal but universal conflicts – from the navel gazing of Narcissus, hypnotized by his own reflection, to the struggles of mythological creatures such as the Minotaur – each indicative of a peculiar state of mind. Uldalen set himself the task of exploring the life-long endeavors of those who recognize they are trapped in the maze of their own ineluctable fates. Uldalen cathartically exorcized these emotionally torn humans with a powerful and clear poetry, a dirge-like refrain perceived in the stoic facial expressions of his male characters as well as the gracious yet dramatic eyes of his female figures. “My art has evolved quite a bit, since I started out painting. I was heavily influenced by classical representational art and Norwegian fairy tales. As a result, the paintings I made back then might be classified as “anachronistic.” While I’m still fascinated by classical art, I have moved away from neo-classical figuration - perfectionism - although what has not changed is the emotional impact my paintings are meant to have on viewers,” says the artist.”

“Rapture” will be on view until July 3rd, 2016.  Please continue below to see much more of the beautiful work:
