Hi all,
This is the "number one" portrait painter in this country. Hakon Gullvag has painted most of our official portraits,besides the King and Queen, all the portraits on his site are of well known persons such as actors, authors, musicians, professors etc. He is very well known and accepted in a wide range.
I agree to a certain point that his artistic approach is interesting, but when it comes too official portraiture I have a hard time to accept.
None of his portraits were ever rejected, as far as I know. Or in case , it would be a very well kept secret. He usually are on the news headlines whenever a new portrait is unveiled. And the critics usually very positive.
The Kings portrait hangs in Oslo City Hall, where the reception of all foreign official visitors are held.
