Bjørge Rødfjell

Bjørge Rødfjell works mainly with oil paint and interprets the figurative expression with expressionistic feelings and impressions from the past, present and future. His paintings are often dominated by portraits of people with clear messages in the form of choice of subject, background, words and colours. Through his education, he has acquired solid knowledge of the techniques, materials and methods used in the old classical paintings, and he uses these to a large extent in his own work. He often combines these techniques with modern painting techniques and elements from street art and pop art in his artworks.
