LEONARD RICKHARD
12 February - 15 May 2016
Leonard Rickhard (b. 1945) is one of the most significant contemporary Norwegian artists. ARoS will be the first museum outside Norway to launch a large-scale exhibition of his art. Quiet forest scenes, red huts, collections of stuffed birds and weary constructors of models figure among this Norwegian artist’s preferred motifs.
The encounter between man and nature plays a major role for Leonard Rickhard, who is able to formulate a human existential vacuum – a disquietude in a largely noisy reality – using characteristic hushed metaphors.
