Roar Kjernstad
Roar Kjernstad is a Norwegian painter (born 1975). In his view
painters and artists in general should be craftsmen. He is a part
of the traditional figurative school of painting wich is related
to the kitsch movement of Odd Nerdrum and the retrogard movement.
But unlike Nerdrum and according to the retrogardists, Kjernstad
still believe that traditional and figurative artists should claim
the term "art" rather than to use the name "kitsch"
for their work. The use of the term "kitsch" shows no
respect to the skills traditional and figurative artist need to
have and to the eternal values of beauty they are believing in.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
