"Den Amerikanske
Indianer" (The American
Indian)
was originally a painting. It was made after a trip to Canada.
I got the direct inspiration for the
painting in
The Canadian Rockies. More precisely in the town of Banff.
I was staying at the famous Banff Springs
Hotel.
Early one morning I went for a walk in the
park.
There I met the Indian.
He was carved in contour on a bench. He had
this
marked, clear-cut profile.
When I am travelling, I always bring back
some
typical handicraft.
Some lacquerwork from Japan.
Some jars and wood cuttings from China.
Some objects created by aborigines from
Australia.
In terms of form and colors, my greatest
source
of inspiration is Indian jars and, not least, Thunderbirds.
The painting is painted in bright colors on
a
black background in acrylic on a canvas of 201 x 139 cm in size.
Price US$ - no, make me an offer lonvig@mail.dk.
The painting is framed in a very simple
silver-plated
wooden frame. See Exhibition 5 - "American
Days".
