Artist Alex Offerdal
Painting on canvas
Signed on the rear
Size h 46 × w 38 cm
Title (norwegian): Snegle
Year: 2023/2024
A lot of garden enthusiasts might see some funny symbolism in this work. How to get rid of brown slug invading the gardens. But somehow it might be a comment on the world as well or simply just a funny painting of a snail, sliding slowly towards a junction. And however slow it moves the society expects a full stop if the sign says so.
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.
