The apple. There is more symbolism in an apple than most fruits. We have sins and temptations. Love and lust. Wisdom and power. And then you take a look at Alex Offerdal's painted apple. Could these childish brushstrokes contain all this information? Maybe not. Whatever a painting symbolizes and the story it tells is actually in the audience's basis of experience. You must choose to seek knowledge. And only your own mind can ever fulfill the potential of a work of art.
Alex Offerdal is painting in symbols. He says he does not care about either religion or politics, but still some of his paintings are clearly inspired from exactly that. He has an explosive and naive way of expression. Even though his motives are often dark, tells us a sad story about life or the world, they are somewhat SpongeBob cartoon like and funny as well. They are painted from within his soul, a pure exposition of what his heart contains that day. Is it an emotion of sadness, or joy, humor, or freight or bewilderment.
