WINTERGARDEN | DECK 7

WINTERGARDEN | DECK 7 DAG ALVENG 1953 x NORWAY x PHOTOGRAPHY Dag Alveng is a contemporary Norwegian photographer who, during his career, has had great impact on the Norwegian photo community. Alveng is known for his exquisite technical quality, his rich details, his complex scale of gray nuances and the radiant, intense light that permeates his photography. Common to Alveng’s projects are motifs derived from his immediate surroundings, and the everyday thus constitutes an essential aspect of his work. The photographs represented on Viking Star are from Alveng’s Summer Light series, a series created over the course of 20 years in the coastal villages of Hvasser and Koster in South Norway and Sweden. The images are all about the Nordic summer light, and the serenity of these idyllic places. Dag Alveng is represented in MoMA’s art collection. 18 WRECKAGE LOOKING NORTH, KOSTER | 1996
