There is a Edvard Munch exhibition in Helsinki at the
Didrichsen art museum. I was invited to the exhibition opening through a friend of mine, and I was really happy to be at the gallery opening of such an exhibition! Edvard Munch is one of my favorit artists. I tend to like dark and symbolic art and some of Munchs gloomy paintings have always appealed to me. Before this exhibition I've seen a Munch painting here or there at different art museums, but I've never seen this many paintings at once, so it was great to really dive in the world of Munch.
One of my favorits is the painting "
Puberty", and I've also attempted to copy it. My copies are alwyas pretty loose...and in this painting I wanted to make the girl a modern day teen with smudged make up (inspired by the teenage girl from this music video: Kent -
Kärleken väntar).
