In a world where options for an education in classical crafts are scarce, some decide to take on a more difficult and empirical approach. Being self-taught and learning by observation, Jannick Hösel is one of them, and now he has entered Odd Nerdrum’s studio where emphasis is placed on philosophy and the ability to convey a gripping story on the canvas.
Starting his paintings in a muted, cool tone, Hösel’s method allows for a great potency of the subsequent application of warmer c...

As you might know, our interview with Wim Winters will be publicly released today, so I thought I would share this 10 minute video with you that I made about Whole beat and Winters, to give you a brief introduction.

Knowledge of the craft and what you are up against is vital for the revival of classical architecture. Carl Korsnes sits down with Eric Norin to talk about the knowledge handed down to us by Vitruvius, good examples of building projects with local coloring, the impact of seemingly innocent standardizations, the driving force of early modernists, and more.

Good evening to all of you!
This is an episode I have been looking forward to sharing with you. Wim Winters is a brilliant speaker and passionate proponent of an idea that is viewed as absurd by academics.
Sounds familiar?
You could perhaps describe Winters as the black swan of musical performance practice, much like what Odd Nerdrum is (and Caravaggio was) for painting, Heinrich Schliemann, Charles Hapgood, John Anthony West and Graham Hancock for archeology, Brune...

What exactly is "pure" mimesis and the "innate" power of color?
Who knows, are the thoughts presented in the abstractionist's essay even as original as the author wants them to be, or are they borrowed and perhaps even taken directly from previous thinkers?

We decided to do an outdoor landscape painting video with Sebastian Salvo. It is something he has never done before.
In an upcoming video, he will bring the landscape painting into his studio to work more on it from fantasy and to possibly use it in composition.
You might have seen a drawing like this by Odd Nerdrum:
This is exactly the technique Jan-Ove Tuv demonstrates in this video, using sand paper, toilet paper and pencils.
