In Thomas Tveter's A Place to Be we are met by a series of still standing scenes merging interiors and landscapes. Immediately the works evoke connotations to magical realism in the sense that the borders between the real and non-real seems blurred, if not completely erased. More than what we actually see, the paintings draw our attention to that which seems absent – the humans. Is what we see traces of living humans, or are we looking at what is left from a human civilization that has ceased to exist? In a wide sense Tveter’s poetic pastels are inviting to a reflection of the human role in the world; if we even have any role beyond occupying space that might as well be inhabited by someone else.
