Welcome
Roar Høstad (b.1982, Trondheim, Norway)
is a visual and intermedia artist. His work, ranging from oil/acrylic painting, pastels, and sound production, is present in collections in the US, Norway and UAE. In 2003 Høstad graduated from Trondheim Cathedral School’s Art College and began an active career as a landscape painter. In 2012 he moved to New York to study contemporary landscape painting with Peter Homitzky at the Art Students League. There he was invited twice to show at SoHo’s Ward-Nasse Gallery, in 2012 and 2013. In 2014 Høstad moved to Gran Canaria, Spain to expand his landscape art practice. In December 2018 this research culminated with Høstad’s first solo exhibition: a show at the Museo de Esculturas Abraham Cardenes, Tejeda, llustre de ayuntamento de Tejeda, Gran Canaria which featured a selection of his finest landscapes. Since then, Høstad has oriented his practice towards the study of human anatomy and to portraiture, favoring pastels to spotlight precision yet planning a return to the medium of oil in the next phase of his research. Seeking for a merging of his passion for visual arts and music, and increasingly interested in the multisensorial art Høstad is currently planning an exhibit that blends together visual, aural and tactile experiences.for inquiries please use the contact form.
