It's clear that London-based Norwegian artist, Henrik Uldalen deals in figurative paintings (and very good ones at that), but they're updated with a contemporary disposition. Dark, ethereal, sublime, otherworldly and other such words spring to mind on first viewing his work. The pieces have a hypnotizing and bewitching quality, and this seems to have become somewhat of a signature for Uldalen.
Impressively, he's a talented self-taught artist and actually describes himself as an "expressionist painter trapped in the body of a neoclassicist painter" so there are a few influences at work here, but the intermix is pure magic.
