From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rolf Aamot (b. September 28, 1934) is a Norwegian painter, film director, photographer and tonal-image composer.
Aamot was born in Bergen. He studied painting at the Art Academy of Oslo and Film at the Dramatic Institute of Stockholm (Sweden).
He is known for his work as a painter, electronic painter, art photographer, graphic artist, film director, tonal-image composer and cultural author. His tonal-image work ”Evolution” (1966) with music by Arne Nordheim was shown on Norwegian television in 1967. “Evolution” represented a milestone of a new art-form in which television for the first time was used as an independent picture-artistic means of expression. Aamot became a controversial artist in the 1970s. He worked with computer paintings on canvas and digital photographic paintings. He has continued to make video art and film art, often in collaboration with the painter and composer Bjørg Lødøen and the photographer, dancer and choreographer Kristin Linder.
Since 1966, Aamot's works have been displayed in Scandinavia, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia, USA and Japan. His work is in several important public collections. Rolf Aamot has been represented at several international film and art festivals throughout the world.
