My currently selection of urban impressions
Art does not consist of any properties. It is an attitude.
We should spend as much time and energy on seeing everything that surrounds us in everyday life as we spend on getting to know the great art and music. For everything is entitled to our attention...

about Are Tollan
With a background as a graphic designer for 25 years, the path to the art world was short, but my work as a visual artist did not start until 2000. That same year, I had my first solo exhibition at Galleri Arto in Toensberg, Norway. Since then I have had a number of solo and collective exhibitions around Norway. Early on I experimented with abstract motives in acrylic and stain on a background in molding compound on plates. But the longing for larger expression surfaces on canvas and stronger colors led me to a form that combines contemporary art with graffiti and pop art.
My pictures are based on daily urban impressions while I try to let the moods, both cheerfulness and sadness, become part of the expression. I currently have my studio in Noetteroey where
I also exhibit my pictures in my own gallery. Welcome to the world of AreArt!
