Sirkusnetter - Et maleri blir til

- This film shows the making of the oil painting called: "Circus Nights" (oil on canvas), by Tor-Arne Moen. It was painted in March/April 2015 and measures 200x350 cm. The model is Martine Grette.
***
The film was made by the artist himself, and is an "artist in studio" production showing the process of a large oil painting.
The painting depicts a huge lion watching closely as a woman in a green dress is holding a hula hoop, in what seems like an an intent to tame a shoal of fish, swimming in the air through the room.
Although Moen has claimed that "the motif is just an excuse to paint", his paintings leaves the spectator with space to interpret, and are often highly imaginative and with stories to tell.
***
Tor-Arne Moen (1966) is a Norwegian painter, printmaker and author. He lives and works in Notodden (Telemark), Norway. He was educated at the Bergen National Academy of the Arts (1988-94).
The artist is recognizable by his high-powered figurative technique with heavily painted surfaces consisting of coarse and thick brushstrokes made with varying brush widths, in layer upon layer. He uses a mix of oil-paint and egg-oil tempera, an old technique based on an emulsifying binder. Emulsion is a mixture of two substances which initially cannot be mixed, in this case oil and water. The egg is added as the emulsifier, which allows oil and water to mix. The word tempera refers to the actual painting technique and was used by the masters since Medieval times. While the tempera is often applied in thin layers, Moen uses it with oil-paint, and in generous amounts, in order to get the creamy texture, and set the brushstrokes in relief to the canvas.
Moen had his breakthrough with a series of paintings for Hamsun’s collected works in the early 90s and continued with a series of expressively painted motorcycles. Throughout the last 25 years he has worked through a wide range of different approaches to the medium and has gone through most classical, figurative disciplines, with motifs such as portraits, landscapes, urban landscapes, burlesque and imaginative, more or less surreal constellations between animals and human figure. In short, most of what he has found visually interesting.
Moen usually works in series over a topic that can occupy him for several years, before changing his theme and style, seeking new angles into his painterly excavations.
For two periods, from 2004 to 2012 and from 2017 onwards, he has worked with a nostalgic approach to the painting based on old black and white family-album photographs as motive basis and support for the eye. Here, the viewer immediately recognizes the photographic reference to a certain time and a certain type of photography, while experiencing the painterly addition of coats and colors in bold, often expressionist brushstrokes. «In front of his painting», an art critic once said, - «I often get the urge to press my nose against its surface to smell it, and maybe even taste it».
The broad-brushed realism and oily, almost juicy surfaces becomes an important source of distance from the photographic art.
Even though the references and the narrative in these paintings have a retrospective character, the spectator is forced to realize that the images are made in our present time, and seen with the eyes, -and nostalgia of our time.
Tor-Arne Moen is represented by many renowned galleries all over Norway and by RJD Gallery in the USA. His works are acquired by art collectors both nationally and internationally.

Especially the picture near the chair where they rested is impressive...
Thank you for letting me into your studio....your world is very inspiring!👍❤

Wow! What a compliment! 🥰
Fantastic video. True art in every sense of the expression.
I love his style, old school..!!!
the style isnt old school the aesthetics are 50s vintage
@@modestrocker1Never mind, love his old school style anyway..
Video it self it is an art . It blowed my mind . Amazing as painting 🖼
Not only the painting....
Good work.
Great piece of Art
The only part I can relate to is running upstairs after the model; the rest totally escapes and fascinates me. Thank you.
The rest (the art) 'escapes and fascinates' you? - expressing detachment, dispassion / nonchalance, indifference and keen interest in the work, simultaneously. Lol. That doesn't make sense.
J adore votre style et votre peinture.🌟
Quelle maîtrise ! Magnifique !
This process of incorporating my many experiences I have in my life collection is the mentoring I'v been yearning for. Finding you here on YT to learn from you has been a grand pleasure for me to close in on oils as I feel best concentrating on.. All the best to you. TorArne🍦
Loved that video class style elegance sophistication and that was just the model , but no the painting the uniquely beautiful the colours style idea magnificent bravo
Sehr gute MALEREI Sie sind ein wahrer Künstler......
Amazing painting and super creative!
Beautiful woman and artwork.
incredible!
…”Un buen trago y siempre la compañía de una atractiva musa. Hacen la inspiración de una buena obra”…
“El vino - que no falte!” No obstante; el artista nunca toma mientras trabaja, pues le obstruye la concentración. Los modelos…otra historia😉 Atentamente, La Musa😻
Onedefull..art.s..master..work
Wow! Your imagination, drawing skill and observance are awesome!
Brilliant ❤❤❤
Sublime❤❤❤
you're a very good painter, sir
Интересная кухня художника !
Как из отдельных прямоугольников разных по содержанию собрать композицию связанную , как из отдельных фрагментов сна раскрывающих что-то подсознательное .
GRANDIOSO ARTISTA
A Magnifient feat of artistic achievement---the best video one has seen of 'action' spontaneous creative painting in the studio! And the artist still manages to retain 'sartorial elegance' with his dining suit without a 'spot' of paint---normally an artist is bespattered with paint having gone through this process!
The clothing is normally not that spotless after a few weeks, believe me!😂 I take it the new shirt was for the film, or just a coincidence 😅
Agreed!!!@@gallerigrette3188
lo ame, fantastico ... surrealista.
Brutal!
Wonderfull ❤❤❤
Unbelievable talent!
Wonderful !
Yes, A very good artist...Please keep up the films! All the other artists are so boring.
Maybe the other artists you mention are not, but it could be the way it’s presented. We do love interesting and entertaining content, don’t we? 🤩🥰
Discrimination is very Offensive! There is no discusión possible about Arts, noone is better than another!
Anyone lnow which easel Tor-Arne is using? That thing is huge!
Bravo!❤🤜🤛👊👏🏻
Magnifique. J'adore. Amitiés.
Love it

Very Good...!!!!

bravo
13:36 it would be already great!
er det to forskeligge malerier eller er det et hele? jeg ser ingen relation
Kanskje det er en slags optisk illusjon i det at bakgrunnen er todelt? Figurene i forgrunnen har allikevel en kontakt, hvis du velger å tolke det den veien 🤗
Like watching Lucien Freud…that brushwork…but that’s just me
Maybe not just you? I know for a fact that the artist holds Lucían Freud high, and is utterly inspired by him. I’m sure he would take it as a great compliment❤
👍👍
Amigo Tor : Sos Muy Bueno !!!!😂
Kısa film lezzetinde sabah süprizi oldu
Lion is gorgeous kissable
La Naissance du Monde dans l'atelier bravo, je vois que vous aimez les femmes😅
He does like beauty…but as a painter also very much interested in HOW things look (to him I guess), and how he can project it out through paint did you see the one with the chain saw? What I’m trying to say is that it’s not so much the motive itself, but how thing can be perceived and interpreted
Excellent job but we thinking maybe you spend too much on paint. This kind of oil paint is very expensive. You don’t feel the pain when you use so much? 😢
A painting needs paint in order to become what it is. This is his way of working. But of course there are other ways to work, using a lot less paint😃 Moen uses a lot of egg-oil tempera too, especially for big surfaces, which works as an extender too. He mixes oil paint into the tempera, that gives a smooth, silky-like surface, which gives a rich texture as well
I’m sure he can afford it
❤️💚💙🌹👍

Blanquino y ocrino pa hacer leonino.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Why the purple first in the holla hoop?
From what I know he usually works from darker colours to the lighter. And work from the elements in front of the perspective, to the further behind. I haven’t really investigated this to be true in all of his paintings ( or what’s recorded of paintings in process), but if you have interest, maybe you can find a consistency?
finished this in one day??
i don't think so. If you notice, he applied glaze last. So the paint must be dry by then. Probably after 2 to 3 weeks.
Certainly not in one day! This has of course been edited to keep the process interesting, because nobody wants to see weeks of work in real time 😅
🤜🤛👊
MISTRZOSTWO👏👏👏
Y el fondino
Y quiere emmarquino
CEREAL WITH A FORK???
hugeliete
Nothing here to see.
I hope you traded the seconds you spent on this comment on something worth your while🤗
No one has alizarine in their ears. If this was jazz you'd be fired.
you are quite a non-artist painter, I would say
Please elaborate? I didn’t understand this comment :)
