Kaja Norum Draws a Male Nude from the Back in Graphite
Near Oslo in a little coastal town we find the studio space of the paintress Kaja Norum.
Apart from a three year study period with Odd Nerdrum, she is mostly self-taught with a basis in techniques from the Renaissance and Baroque.
In her own words, she aims for images with a timeless quality, currently under the influence of the French naturalist painter Jules Bastien-Lepage.
"Shame" is non-existent in Norum’s vocabulary. The human body has her prime attention, in graphite, charcoal, and oil — a celebration of flesh and sensuality.
Norum courteously agreed to do a graphite drawing session from a live model, demonstrating her sensuous abilities.
