Helene Knoop on Copying Masterworks in Italy and the Importance of Clichés and Androgynity

After studying with Odd Nerdrum in the early 2000s, Knoop devoted her time to the frescoes of Pompeii and Antique sculptures. Spending a year in Italy, she copied masterworks in public collections, and shares her experiences. She talks about the importance of androgyny, clichés - and why you should paint self-portraits. This conversation was hosted by Jan-Ove Tuv, and was produced by Bork S. Nerdrum, with assistance from Sebastian Salvo and Cassander Straumsgaard. The centerpiece was the painting "Clio" by Helene Knoop. SHOUTOUT to our TOP SPONSORS!

  • Kristine Onsrud on her Art School TRAUMA, the Florence Academy, and Studying with Odd Nerdrum

    01:32:33|
    Our guest for the evening is the Norwegian painter Kristine Onsrud. Many young, figurative painters can probably relate to her art school trauma, but there are probably few who have experienced that their painting got stabbed with a pair of scissors by their so-called colleagues. This is exactly what happened to Onsrud, who eventually left the London art school to get a proper education at the Florence Academy in Italy. But the "all you do is wrong"-mentality and lack of storytelling as an integrated part of the education at FAA, finally made her apply to the Nerdrum School where she has studied since. The conversation was produced by Bork S. Nerdrum, with assistance from Cassander Straumsgaard, and Sebastian Salvo. The centerpiece was a self-portrait by Kristine Onsrud. On the shelf were works she made at FAA and as a pupil of Odd Nerdrum. SHOUTOUT to our TOP SPONSORS!

  • An Artist and a Kitsch-painter sit down to talk about Cancel Culture | Interview with Magnus Vanebo

    01:22:34|
    Magnus Vanebo is an artist, studying at The National Academy of Art in Norway (better known as KhiO). He visits The Cave to talk about his personal experience with Cancel Culture. Last year, as the academy wanted to increase Social Justice training, and saw «structural racism» everywhere, Vanebo objected — in the beginning as the only one (out of more than 700 people). He wanted knowledge from his professors, not propaganda. The result was the mandatory accusations of bigotry and racism, topped with attempts to have him removed from social media. Vanebo touches on subjects such as Woke aggression, the biggest threat to «creative freedom» — regardless of what you are making. ⭐ Watch the BONUS-material where Tuv and Vanebo continued their conversation, touching on subjects such as the Trickster Archetype, "Structural Racism" as a Projection, Carpenter's They Live, and The Squander Ombudsman: ▶️ https://bit.ly/3vuTDHE The conversation was produced by Bork S. Nerdrum, with assistance from Sebastian Salvo. The centerpiece was "The Onlookers" by Magnus Vanebo and "Old Woman" by Jan-Ove Tuv. SHOUTOUT to our TOP SPONSORS!
