Bjarne is a gangsta’ kool kat, he has a rough Norwegian accent too, sounds like Ahhnnohld Schwarzenegger.

There’s Bjarne and his friend Rich Munson with Alissa Bennett (one of the beautiful women of Luxembourg + Dayan Gallery).

 

3. This is Sverre Bjertnes, he’s Norwegian, he’s a friend of Bjarne’s, he’s draws beautiful pictures and he’s doing a collaboration show with Bjarne- check him out at White Columns in March of  ’12.

 

4. This picture isn’t finished, but I like it already.

 

5. I really like his studio, it’s grand and grunge and gangsta’ all at once.

 

6. This is a collaboration between Bjarne and Sverre.

 

7. Collaboration works on paper, really beautiful ones.

 

8. It’s love hate here, see where it says “Any social construction is a prison,” funny, man, that’s what I’ve been thinking all week.

 

9. Don’t tell me you don’t like it.

 

10. It’s signed by both artists, what is it? Oh, I know, it’s a marsupial on crystal meth morphing into a racehorse, of course!! Why didn’t I see it immediately?!

 

11. Bjarne as Walter E. Kurtz (Brando) in Apocalypse Now- it’s gripping.

 

12. Get it?

 

13. Great text.

 

14. Wow, look, there’s a portrait of Alissa Bennett herself… comely.

 

15. There she is again… shapely.

 

16. This is Bjarne’s big painting.

 

17. This is what I felt like part of this week as I was blogged by the art mob.

 

18. Nice lips on that doggie, it’s a strong image.

 

19. There’s more, and it’s consistent.

 

20. I like this one, too.

 

21. Read the painting: “The price of hating others is loving yourself less.”
