Closer

About

The ambiguous title of the exhibition – Closer – can be understood in this sense as an appeal: ‘Come closer’ – however one may interpret this. Like the exhibition title, Are Blytt’s paintings are ambivalent or rather multivalent in the truest sense. His works are open and thus set different trains of thought in motion. A great deal also takes place between the individual works, so that the respective paintings can be understood as chapters of a narrative in the sense of a stream of consciousness: a story is indeed told, but without beginning or end, without a moral, without a punch line.
