The ability to loose myself into details was given me by Reidar Finsrud
 


John T. Spike:
Jette van der Lende is a Norwegian painter for whom the simplest objects can be as meaningful -- and as startling -- as a bottle washed up on a beach with a letter inside.  A key found inside a drawer or some corks left on a tabletop are the artist's starting points for journeys into ancient wisdoms.   Recently, she wrote me that in Norway they say that to speak is silver but to stay silent is golden.   Sometimes she uses this color symbolism, so the viewer must be cautious before leaping to conclusions.   I came to know Jette van der Lende's paintings at the Florence Biennale 2005  where they attracted a wide and favorable audience.

Press Realease from Agora Gallery Chelsea New York:
Jette van der Lende 's photorealistic stillifes are intimate compositions with amazing attention to textures, surfaces, and the materiality of the objects depicted. With pristine lines and immense detail, van der Lende paints both common objects from present and past eras, and images from nature. Beautifully lit against a dark background as in a traditional portrait studio, these objects assume the elegant dignity of a carefully posed model. van der Lende worked for many years as a draftsperson in an architecture office, her interest in architecture contributing to the graphic, precise style in which she paints. Using a reflective black glass table as a backdrop for her stillifes, van der Lende takes a highly figurative approach to exploring the cubist consept of simultaneously revealing many angels of one object. Van der Lende was born in Copenhagen , Denmark , and raised in Norway . As an artist she has participated in several exhibitions and competitions in Norway and abroad.
