They didn't seem to all open up for sale at once, was on it but no joy......

[1743art]

Really wanted #12. No bloody chance lol

[Deleted]

I was on a train and went out of signal for 5 minutes just as they went live so no chance. #17 was my favourite.
Anyone here get one?

[Geezer Mate]

I swear the USA has quicker connection than us in the UK, impossible

[chads007]

I was on 3g and carted one, another caught my eye, but was too late. Preferred the last offerings

[pippyt75]

I feel blessed to have got #17. Was my personal fave. Will post a pic when I get it framed - decision whether to go ornate or simple .....

Last Rites Gallery is pleased to announce Rapture, a solo exhibition of works by Henrik Uldalen, on view at 325 W 38th Street from May 14 – July 3, 2016. The Norwegian figurative painter’s darkly rendered subjects are cloaked in a dense cloud of charged emotion. Uldalen’s people are often portrayed in frozen, near death-like moments of numbing pain. Yet, his exquisite paintings are ethereal and other worldly.

Henrik Uldalen’s subjects are meticulously produced. His brushstrokes are both expressionistic and invisible to the eye, and his palette of cold ice blues and beiges, ochres and light pinks, is a study in the aesthetics of extreme solitude and suffering. The psychological states Uldalen chases feature subjects who appear to be drifting away from consciousness. Indeed, Uldalen is painting the subtly shifting winds of the human storm – coming to terms with one’s own daimon, the emotional shadow that plays just off to the wings throughout our lives.

“Rapture” is the artist’s painful but liberating metamorphosis from a set of classical influences he’s grown up with. These newest works, Uldalen says, prevail over the sensation of what he terms a “nihilistic void” that has always accompanied his intensely detailed and emotionally disorienting figurative oil paintings. This series works out a handful of seemingly personal but universal conflicts – from the navel gazing of Narcissus, hypnotized by his own reflection, to the struggles of mythological creatures such as the Minotaur – each indicative of a peculiar state of mind. Uldalen set himself the task of exploring the life-long endeavors of those who recognize they are trapped in the maze of their own ineluctable fates. Uldalen cathartically exorcized these emotionally torn humans with a powerful and clear poetry, a dirge-like refrain perceived in the stoic facial expressions of his male characters as well as the gracious yet dramatic eyes of his female figures. “My art has evolved quite a bit, since I started out painting. I was heavily influenced by classical representational art and Norwegian fairy tales. As a result, the paintings I made back then might be classified as “anachronistic.” While I’m still fascinated by classical art, I have moved away from neo-classical figuration – perfectionism – although what has not changed is the emotional impact my paintings are meant to have on viewers,” says the artist.

Uldalen begins each work with a photo shoot using models, then he experiments with a range of colors that seem to fit the skin tone and unendurable emotion he’s looking to explore. With the last series, Henrik abandoned a previous analytical and structural approach to painting in favor of one more fluid and less mapped out. His portraits are an attempt, he says, to be truer to himself – a looser, more open view towards humanity – but without any dilution of the craft and the expressive technique he’s mastered in the handling of paint.

Henrik Uldalen (b. 1986, Asker, Norway) is a figurative painter based in London, U.K. He has been featured in many publications, including HiFructose and American Art Collector. His work has been showcased across Europe, America and Australia. Uldalen has had group and solo exhibitions at Galleri Ramfjord, Olso, Norway; Thinkspace, Los Angeles, CA; Jonathan Levine Gallery, NYC; Corey Helford Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Hashimoto Contemporary, San Francisco, CA; Copro Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; BeinArt Gallery, Melbourne, AU; Last Rites Gallery, NYC and Spoke Art, San Francisco, CA.

Henrik Uldalen is also the creator of “Paintguide,” a wildly popular Instagram feed focused on contemporary painting. In 2015 Uldalen curated “Unit’s London Paintguide: the World’s First Instagram Show” for the Unit Gallery in London, UK.

If there's one figurative artist with a background in the culture you should be supporting then it's this guy.
Norwegian/Korean Henrik Uldalen, self taught ex graffiti writer with a very bright future. And yes, paints on the streets too. Catch him at Nuart maybe later this year.

Opening in New York tomorrow at Last Rites Gallery NYC.
10 Watercolors will be given away on the opening night, so if you arrive in between 7-8pm, you'll automatically be in the raffle for an original piece

He really is a great talent.  I was so gutted to miss his recent watercolours - would love to pick one up one day.

1.5 million instagram followers can't be wrong.

I'm only seeing 318k followers?  Still a huge amount of people, and thoroughly deserved interest in his work.

hmm, weird, can't remember where i read that, i'll amend.

Me too. Bought a print a few years ago. Wish I had bought an original whilst I still could. Hugely talented chap.

[chads007]

Hugely talented. I am very much look forward to the work

[thriftypix]

Interesting. I quite like Uldalen's watercolor work, but I'm less crazy about these new oils. That said, there are a few pieces in the show that are particularly impressive. There's no doubt HU has serious talent and a very bright future.

By the way, it's Last Rites Gallery.
