Ørnulf Opdahl, Mood Paintings of the North. One of Norway’s most distinguished landscape painters, Opdahl’s mood paintings of the North, with their colours like dying embers of a fire, often have a sense of imminence. However, his potentially menacing landscapes can also resemble paradise on earth, of winter nights emanating light, of skies irradiated by stars; a cosmic reminder of infinity and an intimation of mortality. Until 26th February 2010. Kings Place Gallery, 90 York Way, London, N1 9AG. www.kingsplace.co.uk.

Design Real. Serpentine’s first exhibition devoted to contemporary design, curated by leading designer Konstantin Grcic. Until 7th February 2010. The Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens, London, W2 3XA. www.serpentinegallery.org.
