His painting has undergone a distinct development during the last few years. And his road to fame has involved using Herge’s famous comic book characters such as Tintin and Haddock in a new artistic context. Ole Ahlberg has created a universe where the baroque vanitas symbols. Symbols Such as, peeled lemons, hourglasses, unlit candles, and skulls have been replaced by a more contemporary repertoire.The most obvious difference being between things and people from the ‘real’ world contra comic strip characters. His many scantily-clad women, swans, porcelain objects, and clouds are painted in a very convincing life-like manner while the comic strip characters, mainly taken from Herge’s Tintin, are painted with a clearly defined outline that makes them appear flat on the canvas. A difference that is almost tangible.If Ole Ahlberg’s principles of composition have changed, his motifs have essentially stayed the same: it is mostly still about eroticism. Being a very sophisticated artist, he never allows the pictures to become too lewd or carnal in nature, but somehow he finds a way to get the viewer, to a great extent, to create the suggestive stories. Eroticism is usually also just a pretext for political commentary and a deeper epistemological investigation. In this respect Ole Ahlberg prefers the black humor and mysteriousness of Magritte than the theatricality and surrealism of Dalí.
