The jubilation feelings given by forms and
colors of Asbjorn Lonvig.
The art of the Danish painter Asbjorn Lonvig
communicates at the first glance euphoria in
a rough state. A so intense euphoria that the
glance can not move away from the piece of
his art. Of course, the saturated colors are
decisive in this very great glowing.

The colored dazzling and the feeling of
pleasure which prolongs it have multiple
causes. As adequacy between artistic creation
and the constraints of communication, the art
of Asbjorn Lonvig illustrates an assumption
of neurocognitives sciences: the neurons in
charge of visual perception are first activated
by patterns recognition, then by colors
recognition, then by recognition of textures
and movement’s recognition. In a piece of art
like “Soul hurting still “, the sensory impacts
of the forms and the colors are very strong
and equal.
The pleasure comes from what the eye and
the brain receive from the red, the yellow,
the green and blue at the same time as they
recognize the squares, the rectangles, the
circles, the triangles, the straight and broken
lines and even the letter “A”. The glance
thus filled by a profusion of feelings founds
a generating mental state of pleasure. After
and beyond the primary emotion, in a second
phase of contemplation, the spirit endeavors
to confer an overall significance on the table. It
calls upon its repertory of already memorized
forms. Then, the pleasure becomes ludic.
Functioning like a rebus, the chart of an
unknown territory, a coded language or a
mysterious diagram, the piece of art asks to
the witness: “What am I ?”
