Summary
[edit]| Description |
Norsk bokmål: Fra "Arkitekturguide for Nord-Norge og Svalbard: «Galleri Espolin ligger i Storvågan i Lofoten, omlag tre km fra Kabelvåg sentrum, og i øyekontakt med Lofotmuseet som ligger omlag 80 meter unna. Galleriet ligger på oversiden av bukta med Lofotakvariet og et hotell med rorbuer - med storslagen utsikt over fjord og fjell, mellom andre "Vågakallen". I det småkupperte kulturlandskapet rundt Storvågan gård med Lofotmuseet er galleriet plassert mot en bergknaus. De grasgrodde veggvollene og torvtaket gjør at bygningen nærmest går i ett med landskapet. Kaare Espolin Johnson hadde sine aner fra Island, og dette har også ifølge arkitekten preget husets formspråk.
Kunstneren Kaare Espolin Johnson (1907-1994) er kjent for sin gjengivelse av havet, Lofoten og fiskernes harde kår. Siden åpningen i 1992 har både galleriet og kunstsamlingen vokst i omfang - den siste fløya ble innviet i år 2000. Kunstsamlingen inneholder rundt 200 bilder.»
English: From Arkitekturguide for Nord-Norge og Svalbard: «Gallery Espolin is situated in Storvågan in Lofoten, roughly three kilometres from the Kabelvåg town centre and within eye view of the Lofoten Museum, which is located roughly 80 metres away. The gallery is located on the upper side of the inlet near the Lofoten Aquarium and the hotel that has new fisherman's sheds - with a magnificent view overlooking the fjord and mountains, such as the mountain "Vågakallen". In this gently undulating cultural landscape surrounding the Storvågan Farm with the Lofoten Museum, one finds the gallery positioned by a knoll. The grassy wall ramparts and sod roof create the effect that the building is nearly one with the landscape. Kaare Espolin Johnson had ancestors from Iceland, and according to the architect this influenced the form of expression of the building.
The artist Kaare Espolin Johnson (1907-1994) is known for his representations of the sea, Lofoten and the tough fishing conditions. Since its opening in 1992, both the gallery and the art collection have grown in size - the most recent wing was consecrated in 2000. The art collection currently contains around 200 works.» |
