Vernissasje Ragnar Almén

Welcome to the opening of an exhibition featuring Ragnar Almén (born 1949), who has been an important figure in Vestfold’s art scene since the mid 1970s.

Almén works across painting, printmaking and sculpture. His work explores autobiographical and existential themes, as well as identity, politics, religion and human experience. He has also created works depicting landscapes, still lifes, the human figure and interiors.

As a young artist, Almén received artistic guidance from Gunnar Romberg in Tønsberg and printmaker Bjørn-Willy Mortensen in Åsgårdstrand. He made his debut at Galleri Norske Grafikere in Oslo in 1976.

In 2012, Almén’s work was presented in a major retrospective exhibition at Haugar Vestfold Kunstmuseum. His works have been acquired by institutions including the National Gallery of Norway, the Norwegian Arts Council and Vestfold County.
