Johannes Høie has moved towards a form of contemporary painting well rooted in a classical figurative manner, but with a subject matter balanced in an ambiguous, close to abstract thematic landscape. Observation and the gaze itself becomes a part of the narrative tension. His narratives tangents surrealism and carry with them the uncanny resonance associated with the surreal. In this exhibition he experiments with an approach of “dissecting” the images, through intent exploring and repetition.
