About Tor Olav Foss

Tor Olav Foss
was born in Furnes, Norway 1952. As a visual artist, he has gained international attention through more than 180 exhibitions and is represented in public and private collections in all the five Nordic countries, as well as in Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Kenya, and USA.

The artist works with light as the central element in his works, expressed symbolically as well as literally. This theme is anchored in Mr. Foss’ studies of philosophy and mystical tradition of the antiquities. His paintings span a broad register from naturalistic and figurative to abstract expressions in various techniques. The press has hailed Mr. Foss’ art as “vitamins for the soul”.

In 2004, Mr. Foss was nominated for the pan-European art competition “The Lexmark European Art prize", Trienale di Milano Italy.
The artist has designed the trophy to the official Norwegian Quality Prize, painted the side-altar in Grefsen Church in Oslo and the adornment of the Chapel of Mary in Bliksvær, Northern Norway. He has been awarded prizes in photography in both Norway and Sweden and is represented in several European books and publications.
During the world fair EXPO 2000, Mr. Foss was presented in "Who’s Who Europamagazin", and later in the Asian and South American editions of "Top Business" with the title: “The Art of Light, the Light of Art”.

Billedkunstner Tor Olav Foss
er født i Furnes ved Hamar 1952. Gjennom mer enn 180 utstillinger i Italia, Norge, Svalbard, Sverige og Tyskland har han oppnådd internasjonal oppmerksomhet og er innkjøpt til offentlige og private samlinger i Danmark, Finland, Frankrike, Island, Italia, Kenya, Norge med Svalbard, Polen, Spania, Sverige, Tyrkia, Tyskland og USA.
Kunstneren arbeider med lys, undring og sakrale stemninger som hovedtema, så vel konkret som symbolsk. Tematikken er dessuten forankret i mange års fordypning i antikkens filosofi- og mysterietradisjoner. Maleriene spenner over et bredt register fra naturalistisk figurativ til abstrakt uttrykksform i ulike teknikker og er i media flere ganger blitt omtalt som ”vitaminer for sjelen”.
I 2004 var Tor Olav Foss Norges nominerte kandidat og juryert semifinalist til the Lexmark European ArtPrize, Triennale di Milano, Italia.
Kunstneren har vært designer av trofeet til den offisielle, norske Kvalitetsprisen, malt sidealter i Grefsen Kirke Oslo og jubileumsutsmykning i Mariakapellet, Bliksvær i Nordland. Han er prisvinner i fotografi i Norge og Sverige samt representert med arbeider i en rekke europeiske publikasjoner og bøker. Samtidig med verdensutstillingen EXPO 2000 i Tyskland, ble Tor Olav Foss presentert i Who’s Who Europamagazin, og senere flere ganger i “Top Business going Asia” og “Top Business going South America” under overskriften ”The art of light, the light of art”.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
