The contempoary artwork of the
Norwegian oil painter, Anett Kilèn
Kennedy, fuses the classical with
modern, figurative with abstract.
-Philippe Guston once pointed out
that there is a mysterious element
to the picture plane –“an imaginary
plane that defies any traditional explanation”.
I believe that the moment
we become lost in a painting,
we are closest to the space
between heaven and earth that the
Japanese describes as “Nakazura”,
the silent place of all and nothing.
An inexpressible place, between
dream and reality, for escape and
solace which hopefully, ultimately
heals and leaves the viewer with a
fresh way of seeing Home Base.
