"Ikke kjørende og ikke ridende" (translated as "Neither Driving Nor Riding") is a notable work by Theodor Severin Kittelsen, a prominent Norwegian artist and illustrator renowned for his nature paintings and illustrations of fairy tales and legends, especially those involving trolls and other mythical creatures. Born on April 27, 1857, in the coastal town of Kragerø, Kittelsen became one of Norway's most beloved artists, with his work deeply ingrained in Norwegian cultural heritage.

The piece "Ikke kjørende og ikke ridende" is particularly significant within Kittelsen's oeuvre for its encapsulation of the artist's fascination with the mystical and enigmatic aspects of the natural world, as well as his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of narrative and emotion. The work is characterized by its evocative portrayal of a figure that is seemingly in a state of limbo, neither fully engaged in the act of riding a beast nor simply traveling alongside it. This ambiguity is a hallmark of Kittelsen's style, which often leaves viewers pondering the deeper meanings and stories behind his images.

Created during the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when Kittelsen produced some of his most acclaimed works, "Ikke kjørende og ikke ridende" reflects the artist's mature style, which combines elements of Romanticism with a unique, personal expression that resonates with the Norwegian national romantic movement. The artwork is executed with Kittelsen's characteristic finesse, utilizing a monochromatic palette that enhances the mystical and atmospheric qualities of the scene.

While "Ikke kjørende og ikke ridende" is not as widely recognized as some of Kittelsen's other works, such as his illustrations for Asbjørnsen and Moe's collection of Norwegian folktales or his iconic depictions of trolls, it remains an important piece that contributes to the understanding of his artistic vision and the cultural context of his time.

The work continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars for its technical skill, emotional depth, and the way it captures the essence of Scandinavian folklore and the natural environment. It is preserved and displayed in Norway, contributing to the legacy of Theodor Severin Kittelsen as a key figure in the nation's art history.
