There’s Bjarne and his friend Rich Munson with Alissa Bennett (one of the beautiful women of Luxembourg + Dayan Gallery).

This is Sverre Bjertnes, he’s Norwegian, he’s a friend of Bjarne’s, he’s draws beautiful pictures and he’s doing a collaboration show with Bjarne- check him out at White Columns in March of ’12.

This picture isn’t finished, but I like it already.

I really like his studio, it’s grand and grunge and gangsta’ all at once.

This is a collaboration between Bjarne and Sverre.

Collaboration works on paper, really beautiful ones.

It’s love hate here, see where it says “Any social construction is a prison,” funny, man, that’s what I’ve been thinking all week.

Don’t tell me you don’t like it.

It’s signed by both artists, what is it? Oh, I know, it’s a marsupial on crystal meth morphing into a racehorse, of course!! Why didn’t I see it immediately?!

Bjarne as Walter E. Kurtz (Brando) in Apocalypse Now- it’s gripping.

Get it?

Great text.

Wow, look, there’s a portrait of Alissa Bennett herself… comely.

There she is again… shapely.

This is Bjarne’s big painting.

This is what I felt like part of this week as I was blogged by the art mob.

Nice lips on that doggie, it’s a strong image.

There’s more, and it’s consistent.

I like this one, too.

Read the painting: “The price of hating others is loving yourself less.”
