Ole Ahlberg

Ole Ahlberg

Born 1949.
Debuted in the 1970s and has since worked with collage, graphics and painting in increasingly demanding techniques necessary for his hyper-precise imagery. He’s the man of the opposites. The well-known comic book character Tintin, whom we all know as an innocent and untouchable figure, often appears as the centerpiece of the artist’s universe. But it is not in the usual context in which we see Tintin acting. In Ole Ahlberg’s pictures, the young journalist is put into a sexual context that so strongly undermines our perception of this cozy but genderless figure. He is suddenly made into a male of flesh and blood, which may look puzzled, but on the end side is not pale to put his hand on the woman’s buttocks. If it is not just Tintin that is confronted with the sensory world, then it might be a toy, a platter, a rocket, Hans Christian Andersen, etc.

Exhibition with Ole Ahlberg in Svendborg

CLOSED // 15.10.-26.11.2022 // Frederiksø 16A, Svendborg

It is a great pleasure to present the autumn exhibition in the gallery at Frederiksø. This time it is a striking proof of the artist’s right to express himself. An important battle has been fought over 12 years. A battle that came to be about the intersection between copyright and artistic freedom of expression. Tintin, who is otherwise known to be the epitome of justice, purity, neatness, has in the hands of Ole Ahlberg become erotic images where Tintin is often seen with naked or scantily clad women. This has resulted in a fantastic exhibition of oil paintings, sculptures, lithographs, copperplate prints and unique pieces that Ole Ahlberg has been generous enough to lend us from his own collections. The works span about 40 years.

Original Ole Ahlberg lithographs for sale

A lithograph – also called lithography – is a technique that is almost 250 years old. Ole Ahlberg’s motifs are drawn and printed – one color at a time. It is a slow process and it is not uncommon for there to be between 20 and 30 color layers in Ole Ahlberg’s lithographs. A lithograph is a print of the highest quality, which ensures a long shelf life for many years to come. Printed on acid-free cotton paper.
