Please join us for the opening of The Exogenic Series (Aqua) on Thursday, October 5th between 6-8 pm.

Oslo Kunstforening are proud to present the recent paintings of the South African artist Gavin Jantjes.

In Oslo as well as abroad, Gavin Jantjes is known to most as the former senior curator for international art at the National Museum in Oslo or the former artistic director of Henie Onstad Art Center.

Since the start of 2015, Jantjes has focused on a series of fourteen large canvases entitled The Exogenic Series (Aqua).

Painting is rapidly returning to the arenas of cultural discourse and exhibition practice. It is timely that non-figurative painting can once again occupy public attention not through its references or depictions, but through our sensory reading of a painted surface. The works exhibited function as catalysts for ideas and reminiscences about place, the environment and the broad array of things formed on the surface of the earth.
