Born in Stavanger, Norway in 1937, Kjell Pahr-Iversen is one of Norway's most prominent innovative and contemporary artists. An artist among artists, he has achieved worldwide notoriety and fame, holding exhibits not only in Norway and Europe but also in Asia and America.
Pahr-Iversen is accomplished in a multitude of mediums from Stained Glass to Canvas. His works are typified by a prevailing compositional theme, with colors delivering an animated luminosity and vibrancy. As Pahr-Iversen often produces series of paintings showing a partiality for musical, religious or literary themes, he is a natural fit with K&Mfest, augmenting the aural musical experience with imagery.
Well grounded and schooled in both the history of European culture as well as its modern-day culture, urbanity, and ethos, Pahr-Iversen successfully combines these diverse influences by creating individual, sophisticated and entirely contemporary masterpieces. K&MFest is honoured to partner with Kjell Pahr-Iversen, aiming to develop a unique artistic experience for concert-goers, while broadening the artistic foundation for artists and musicians alike.
