Holy shit. Do you have any higher res versions???

The painted photograph feeling with the flash-like lighting and strangely high angles powerfully communicate a sense of drunkenness and disorientation.The concept of "drinking away your troubles" is a sort of common idea, and could easily be done in a cliche manner that would be quickly read. But I sincerely think that you have successfully avoided this and have portrayed the lonelier side of drinking and partying with a fresh brutality and ambition. I'm definitely not finished with looking at and thinking about these pieces. Really excellent work my friend. I'm really excited to see a fellow painter here on twoism!

Also I'm actually a little drunk right now. So that's funny. Not sure I feel like taking a bath while wallowing in my depression though.

Thank you so much!
If you chose "view picture" it will show you a bigger picture..Otherwise I can mail you a bigger one if you pm me your mail.
I'm glad you like them and that you feel that you can relate to them. Previously I've done paintings from snapshot photos from partys but I felt like showing another side of that life (with a bit of humour

).
Haha! If you had experienced sweden during the cold winter you may have related to the "bathtub painting" easier

Syberia these are stunning!

Do you study art?

Your technique is beautiful!

Thank you Fujee! Yes I studied at an art school here in Gothenburg two years right after High school but the past three years I've been painting on my own beside my "bread-job".

Fantastic

I am an art student too.

Got any more paintings to show us?

Cool, where do you study and what kind of art are you making?
Only my old ones on my website...http://www.sigridfahlstrom.com/
It takes some time to make them but I hope to have a productive fall/winter

I study in the midlands in the UK.

I used to be primarily a draughtsman and a painter, specialising in drawing. But my practice has moved into installation, sculpture and video and sometimes a mix of all three!

Im sorta finding my feet really in terms of what I want to do going forward.

Il check your website out!

You should post something here then

.
Sounds interesting. I usually goes to exhibitions with video/installation art, it's the art form I usually can get the most out off.

Since going to art school, I have seen it as one of the most exciting mediums going forward.

I love working in Video as well

I will post some stuff soon !

these are great. good work. oil is hard to master! you have! i like how some of your work is kind of an analogue deconstruction of todays ubiquitous digital party snaps. i have never seen someone paint that hard tungsten flash associated with digital. really great.

nordheim · Post by **nordheim** » Tue Aug 07, 2012 12:20 pm

Thank you! I love working from photographs because of the twisted angles and bright, almost unnatural colors you can get when using a camera.

I checked your website and you really have amazing artwork there. I absolutely love your shortfilms! The music video you made with Orcas (who's music I love) and "Areas in Manhattan" is really beautiful! Very trippy

Thanks very much man. I see you've got yourself a new name and avatar (I recognise your avatar from the photography thread).

really wonderful!

I don't really have much of my stuff online, most of what I do now is really intricate cellular structures and it's hard to photograph and I haven't scanned them yet. Here's a drawing from my photorealism days though:
