Interview Odd Nerdrum at MEAM | Museu Europeu d'Art Modern

Odd Nerdrum's exhibition at MEAM can be visited until November 15th. Nerdrum has exhibited several times with some of his students, but never until now had such a broad and comprehensive exhibition, both the magnitude of the work presented by the Norwegian painter as the number of students that go with it.
Odd Nerdrum, born in 1944 in Halsingborg (Sweden), studied at the Academy of Art in Oslo and later with the conceptual artist Joseph Beuys in Dusseldorf (Germany), and since the beginning developed a unique painting style with a clear influence of painters like Rembrandt and Caravaggio, fleeing abstraction and conceptual art popular in the academic environment.
Odd Nerdrum, founder of the movement "Kitsch" in painting, focuses on small still life painting depicting a single image, like a baby or a brick, and in portraits and self-portraits, usually without background, characters dressed in skins and mantles They symbolize what remains after an imaginary apocalypse, as well as large allegorical works of apocalyptic nature.

He is a tremendous individual in a conformist art world, standing up to the established orthodoxy the same way that Picasso stood up to the orthodoxy of his time. If anything Odd is the most modern of today's artists because he breaks the norm. What a loss it would be for the art community if Odd used his talent to do paint splatter works, or trash installations accompanied by meaningless 5 page artist statements. Bravo Odd, your art is living, because it's sparks emotion and controversy!

It's true what Odd Nerdrum says that many techniques have been lost but fortunately because of the work of the Rembrandt Research project with Ernst Van De Wettering we now have the most extensive and detailed information of any artist at any point in time.Fortunately it's on Rembrandt the greatest handler of paint.The "Corpus" is 5 (soon to be 6)books which are free to use on the website www.rembrandtdatabase.org but a good start is the book "The Painter At Work" by De Wettering and also Londons national Galleries book "Art In The Making" .

Tremendo, pittore inquietante. Ottimo disegnatore. Scimiotta molto un certo Rembrandt, la luce in particolare. Ma vende molto......!

es muy bueno este pintor!,no sale de la tecnica rembrandina pero es muy interesante,lo hace muy bien.Lo que no entiendo es por que va vestido como una muñeca gorda.Quiere ser Rembrandt reencarnado justo en el momento de uno de sus autorretratos con el camisón de la abuela? No es un poco infantil?

Marin Marais is great! This one called "Sonnerie de Sainte-Geneviève du Mont de Paris" is one of my favorite music. I used to adore Nerdrum. Unfortunately, he has not evolved and is stubbornly stuck in the Nordic mythology. You can admire Rembrandt as you like (I do!!!) but still we live now in the 21st century and not in a phanstastic mythological world. Rembrandt also painted in his time - contemporary. (Apart from the commissioned works of religious or Greek mythological themes) Nerdrum's more recent works are getting weaker and weaker. Those of his students are at best just emulations of the overpowering Nerdrum and are so tacky that I wouldn't hang one of them. (On the contrary, an older Nerdrum I would even hang in my house).
