WORK
In the later years Ingjerd Hansen Juvik has taken an interest in comic art and has created the surreal story of Lola, an impulsive, goodhearted, but not too structured young girl. Lola lives with her friends Mona, Synnøve and Calle. Mona is boss of the house and an alternative therapist with rather original views on treatments, while Synnøve earnestly claims to origin from another planet and keeps an invisible frog as her dearest companion. Calle is the only male occupant of the house, and busies his days trying to understand life – and women in particular.
Lola lives a rather impulsive and unstructured life, moving from job to job. Sadly, each job ends in a disaster, much to the frustration of Kim at the employment office. Thus, regular access to money is not to be counted on in Lola’s life…
Other characters in Juvik’s universe are Sigurd, patient of Mona, Batman, street philosopher Pedro and Atilla, Aksel Hennie’s guardian. The actor, playwright and editor being the only nonfictive person in Juvik’s comic. Lola has a deep crush on the actor and there is no limit to how far she´s willing to go to get Henie’s attention.
The works on display in our gallery are one edition test prints from Juvik´s first album, “Lola I”. The album has not yet been published, as Juvik is still in the search for a publisher. All works are drawn by hand by Juvik, then scanned and colored by Nikolai Gowda before printing.
