Hariton Pushwagner is probably one of Norways coolest living artists, and he's having a major artistic breakthrough in Norway as well as internationally these days, at the age of 68! From being a homeless drugaddict, who signed off his entire artwork to his agent (lithographys, paintings, prints, sketchbooks and probably even napkins with drawings on them), he is now on top of it again, trying to gather it all.
What recognizes Pushwagners art is his insane detail works. It´s said about Pushwagners painting 'Jobkill' that it is one of the most comprehensive and detailed artworks in the world.
His art reflects a mechanical life in a dehumanized, dystopian future. Anonymous people, often standing in an endless line. This is top notch social criticism! Even his name is a critic; Pushwagner is a allegory to the shopping carts found in most supermarkets ;)
Right up my alley! I highly recommend checking out Pushwagner. You can se a interview in Norwegian here and a documentary here.
