“Once in a while a valiant artist sinks his teeth into the ancient history of artmaking, confounding the expected principles of geometry and spins the easel, eave, earth… on its axis. Stian Heimlund Skjæveland is one of these artists. His built paintings and weathered monoliths are a tactile rearrangement of materials derived from nature, native to traditional landscape painting and sculptural land art. The armored, impasto skin of his tactile canvases illogically breathe with luminous atmosphere, while his ambitious ‘Solspeilet’ (Sun Mirror/The Norweigian Stonehenge), erects a twelve 3m standing stone circle with an 8m polished steel central pyramid (a diameter of 8m, 14m above water level), that dissolves into thin air (reflecting sea, sky and land). Stian swaps enduring elements such as metallic lustre for oscillating aether. In each case he is bending mass and energy. Light is perhaps the key principle in his work. It is a trickster, much like the Great Plains Native American Lakota’s sacred ‘Heyokha,’ functioning as a lighting bolt... a playful Thunder Being (i.e. Thor/Loki), a celebration of life, thus good medicine for dark times.” - Alethea Maguire-Cruz / Fellow Artist
A great monument to visit! Don't miss it!
