Leonhard Rickhard is an outstanding representative of Norwegian
contemporary art. Owing to his unique vision and narrative
techniques, he has revitalised painting as a means of artistic
expression. In his conceptual paintings he portrays a fragmented
and often enigmatic reality, inviting the viewer to discover and
reconstruct his pictorial narrative. Rickhard's universe of motifs
and figures can be traced back to the 1970s: birch forests,
building sites and heaps of machinery are combined with finely
detailed depictions of machine parts and fragments of models. His
narrative picture sequences are often populated by melancholy and
contemplative human figures. Rickhard has constantly questioned,
challenged and recontextualised this pictorial universe. His
artistic works occupy a unique position in Norwegian art, precisely
because of their uncompromising reworking of recurring motifs. His
paintings appear as solid and monumental constructions, which at
the same time reveal a fundamental complexity, restlessness and
vulnerability. The combination of conceptual strategies and formal
aspects is one of the most significant strengths of his artistic
oeuvre in the variegated field of contemporary art. Text in
English, German & Norwegian.
