EDITORS COMMENTS
In the guardroom, 1889" is a captivating oil painting by Kalle Lochen that beautifully captures the atmosphere of a soldier's sanctuary. The artist skillfully portrays an interior scene where soldiers find solace amidst their duties. In this intriguing composition, we see a group of soldiers engaged in various activities. The room is filled with thick smoke from cigars and pipes, creating an air of camaraderie and relaxation. One soldier sits at the center, his half-length figure exuding a sense of weariness as he leans back in his chair. He holds a long pipe in one hand while delicately balancing a glass of alcoholic beverage on his knee. The guardroom is adorned with military paraphernalia – glasses, matches, and bottles scattered across the table – hinting at both discipline and indulgence within this confined space. The dimly lit room adds to the intimate ambiance as each soldier finds respite from their rigorous duties. Lochen's attention to detail brings life to each character depicted; their expressions reveal stories untold. This painting serves as not only an artistic masterpiece but also offers us insight into the lives of these men who serve dutifully yet seek moments of relaxation amidst their responsibilities. Displayed proudly at Bergen Art Museum in Norway, this artwork stands as a testament to Lochen's talent for capturing human emotions through paintbrush strokes. It invites viewers to contemplate the complexities behind military life and reminds us that even those bound by duty deserve moments of reprieve.
