Archiving & new Book

Archiving my drawings 1 to 490 *.


I always said as soon as I reach 500 drawings I will release them as a book. Ideally in a high-end Manga-like jewel of a publication. And now I will: together with the amazing people from Gudberg Nerger.

Almost there. Ten drawings to go. You just wait and see ;)

PS: If you are in Copenhagen end of August: Galerie Bludin Berisha will show a bunch of these works at their booth at ENTER art fair . Summer only just begun …

And yes, please continue buying the drawings as they in the end will most likely finance the book.

* why the asterisk? Ah yes, cos I wanted to let you know that many of the drawings I am archiving here are only printouts - from the ones sold. If you want to know which ones are available: drop me a mail, or download the PDF here.

GONAKADET

GONAKADET (2024)
Woodcut, acrylic paint, 63 x 53 x 4 cm

The Gonakadet, commonly referred to as the Sea-Wolf, is a mythical creature in the Tlingit tradition of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. Simultaneously strong, generous and humble, the Sea-Wolf was said to bring great luck and wealth to anyone fortunate enough to spy it, or hear its soulful howl.

Gonakadet is said to be inspired by the Vancouver coastal sea wolves, which are found in the Great Bear Rainforest and in northern Vancouver Island.

This work was specifically created for the exhibition ULVEN+ at Galerie Wolfsen, Aalborg. Opening of the exhibition is Saturday, June 22. It is also the celebration of the 60’s birthday of gallery founder Kent Wolfsen. A great gallerist always has some Gonakadet in her/him - Kent for sure does.

PS: Sound samples used in the video above are from Pigeon Hole’s „Wolf Pack“ and „The Island of the Sea Wolves“, spoken by Will Arnett

All about: 'THEY ALL MUST BE SLAUGHTERED' Exhibition

Ok. Got four minutes and your speakers on? Above is a walkthrough of my new exhibition, including sound. You really should watch till the end (surprise awaits). This is how my new show „They all must be slaughtered“ is presented at The MISSION by heliumcowboy.

The song „They all must be slaughtered“ by the Melvins runs on constant repeat (from Vinyl), and together with the light setting it creates the unique, dark and apocalyptic athmosphere I wanted for this exhibition, which is more like a play on a stage than just a show of artworks.

Alex Diamond (wood) & Pablo Villafuerte (guitar): MACACO

First: turn the sound on!

Something very special today - this fast forward clip from carving my most recent Alex Diamond artwork is a collaboration with the classical guitarist & chamber musician Pablo Villafuerte (@pablovillafuerteguitar on instagram), who composed the music to this video - and especially for this one. Which is so beautiful, I am truly grateful for the time and creativity (and craftsmanship!) Pablo devoted to this. Amazing. And I LOVE it so much, I hope enjoy this too, please make sure to listen till the end, it’s sooo good. 🙏❤️

The name of the piece is „Macaco“ … which is monkey in Portuguese. The artwork did not have a title yet, but since Pablo sent over the final video last night the title of the music would actually suit the carving quite well too :))

Thanks a million Pablo!!!
