His art addresses high-tech humanitarian challenges and is highly personal.<\/p>\n<p>Per Hess is the first Norwegian artist to exhibit in the Dimitri Shevardnadze Georgian National Gallery. After receiving invitations from several universities in 1988, he visited Georgia in 2018 and 2022. This cross-cultural interchange has enriched his work and humanistic outlook.<\/p>\n<p>This neon installation uses his artistic invention, multi-colour neon tubes, and single-colour neon tubes, the most common. His perceptions and reflections on light are broad. Metaphysical, spiritual, and scientific concerns arise from light and colour changes. This influenced Per Hess&#8217;s art. Politics, philosophy, ecology, and universal human experiences are his topics.<\/p>\n<p>His social dialogue relies on existential transformation. Art should represent universal values like harmony with nature, safety, freedom, and peace.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><strong>The exhibition is supported by:<\/strong> <strong>OCA &#8211; Office for Contemporary Art Norway, Norwegian Embassy, Norskebilledkunstnere, Ingrid Lindb\u00e4ck Langaards Stiftelse, Georgian National Gallery, Ministry of Culture, Sport and Youth of Georgia.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Colour and light concept artist Per Hess, born in\u00a01946 in Kongsberg, Norway, graduated from Oslo&#8217;s Art and Craft College and Academy.
