Prosessen: Billedkunstner Jarle Rosseland er til stede i Galleri Graff i morgen og vil forklare den møysommelige prosessen før et linoleumstrykk er ferdig.

Askim: – Jeg har aldri stilt ut i Indre Østfold før, men her er det i alle fall veldig hyggelig. Jeg liker den pulserende atmosfæren i dette lille galleriet, smiler Jarle Rosseland over kaffekoppen og nysmurte rundstykker.

Billedkunstneren arbeider for tiden med flere store utstillinger i Norge og to nye skulpturprosjekter i USA og Hellas. Innimellom tar han seg tid til en utstilling på Galleri Graff, og lover til og med å være i galleriet på åpningsdagen lørdag for å svare på spørsmål. Og dem kan det bli mange av fra nysgjerrige kunst-elskere i Indre Østfold. Jarle Rosseland tar med seg linoleumsplater og flere grafisk ark der han vil demonstrere prosessen trinn for trinn i det møysommelige arbeidet det er å få ferdig et linoleumstrykk.

Glemt teknikk

Jarle Rosseland fanger det norske lyset, fargene og naturen i maleriene og grafikken. På Galleri Graff har han med seg 30 linoleumstrykk og 10 malerier. Også de med enkle flater - grafiske i uttrykket, detaljerte med rene flater.

– Jeg jobber med maleriet som utgangspunkt for videre arbeid i grafikk, og grafikk for videre arbeid med billedvev som jeg får vevet i Zagreb. Jeg har jobbet med linosnitt siden 1968 og utviklet min egen teknikk i trykkpressen der jeg legger malingen direkte på valsen for å skape de svake overgangene, forteller Jarle Rosseland.

Svært få kunstnere i dag arbeider med lino-trykk. Det er en arbeidskrevende teknikk der hver farge har sin egen håndskårede plate. Et eneste feilskjær, betyr at man må lage en helt ny plate.

– Mange sluntrer unna og lærer seg ikke håndverket, sier Rosseland som underviser i denne glemte teknikken mange steder i Europa og i Bankok der han er gjesteprofessor.

Jarle Rosseland liker denne teknikken fordi den krever full kontroll av kunstneren under hele prosessen fra det første skjær i linoleumen og til det siste trykket på papiret gjennom valsen.

– I et lino-trykk må du bestemme alt selv og ha en ferdig plan. I en grafisk etsing skjer det ofte uforutsette ting i prosessen som selvsagt er spennende, men jeg vil være min egen herre over verket. Alt må være bevisst. Det liker jeg, sier Rosseland som var elev av sin far Inggard Rosseland og debuterte på Høstutstillingen bare 18 år gammel.

Internasjonal

Det er en feiret og internasjonal kunstner du møter på Galleri Graff. Hans kunst er innkjøpt av store permanente samlinger i Europa, Nasjonalgalleriet, Kulturrådet, Dronning Sonja og najonale utstillinger og gallerier. Han har hatt store utsmyknings- og skulpturoppdrag, designet glass, porselen og smykker, og laget førstedagskonvolutter for Posten.

WILLY BRANDT                                                        BUNDESHAUS, 5300 BONN 1, 7.

Februar 1989.

 

                              Mehr als de Mitternachtssonne.

 

Das nördlichste Norwegen. Das Land im Schoss der Polarnacht wie der Mitternachtssonne. Ein Geschenk 

an den Torismus, eine Herausforderung an jene, die dort bauen und wohnen.  Und  an die Künstler, die

stark und telentvoll genug sind, die Eindrücke des Landestails und der Landschaft nicht nur anzunehmen, 

sonder auch in sich aufxunehmen. Sie versuchen sowohl de sichtbaren wie die unsichtbaren Grundlinien 

in einer Landschaft zu finden, welcher die Jahreszeiten einen stark wechselnden Carakter verleihen.

Dieses Buch enthält einen solchen Versuch, und zwar von zwei Seiten: der des Fotokünstlers und der des 

Grafikers. Zwei Künstler, die mit realistischen Wirkungsmitteln arbeiten und die abstrakte Geometrie der 

Natur blosslegen. Während die starken Gefühle geläutert werden, treten die strengen Linien und Formen 

hervor. Formen, die auch die Lebensbedingungen der Menschen prägen, die ihren Alltag in der Natur 

haben, die sich durchen die Zivilisation nicht hat unterdrücken lassen.

Dieses Buch ist nicht nur ein Resultat von "künstlerischem Einleben" in die wechselnden Jahreszeiten, in 

eine für Touristen aufregende Landschaft, sondern es gibt auch ein Bild von den atrengen Bedingungen, 

unter denen die Menchen gelebt haben und weiterhin leben. Jedes Jahr fordert sie ihre Opfer.

Das Buch sollte auch als Ausdruck des Respekts genommen werden, den zwei Künstler gegenüber jenen 

empfunden haben, die alle positiven menschlichen Eigenschaften entwickeln mussten, um in der strengen 

Natur überleben zu können.

Dadurch, dass dieses Buch von Vertretern  zweier Völker geschaffen wurde, zu denen ich, wenn auch auf 

unterschiedliche Art, gehöre, ist es mir besonders nahe.

Möge es auch jenen nahekommen, die Echtes, seelische Verankerung und das Zeitlose suchen in einer 

Welt, die in hohem Masse mit Augenblickerlebnissen und oberflächlichen Wirkungen beschäftligt ist.

Rosseland captures the spirit of Norway He grew up in a special artists' community created around Edvard Munch's atelier at Ekely in Oslo.  His father was a self taught Oslo painter, printmaker and sculptor, so the family had moved to the community from Bergen when he was a young boy.   Jarle Rosseland will be in Washington, D.C., in December for an exhibit at Union Station. Photo:  Courtesy of Rosseland Jarle Rosseland did not plan on becoming an artist-it just happened.  "I created prints in my spare time and after I got my high school diploma, I made my debut at the Fall Exhibit (Høstutstillingen)," Rosseland said.  The Fall Exhibit is a yearly exhibit in Oslo featuring Norwegian amateur and professional artists.  The following year, he held his first solo exhibit and ever since he has been a full time artist. From his high school days, Rosseland has one year of experience in the banking business, if adding up odd jobs during school holidays.  After graduation, he headed to Connecticut and the Silvermine Guild of Artists to experiment and learn.  "Dad said, "'get your diploma and travel abroad,' and that's what I did," Rosseland said. Today, Rosseland is most known for his striking linocuts, not just in Norway but internationally.  Linocut is a process in which an image is cut with a gouge in relief on a linoleum block.  Relief is the method of printing where ink is rolled onto the surface of the plate leaving lines and textures inkless. Rosseland has held over 200 exhibits in countries ranging from Norway to Thailand, Canada to Japan, and a number of U.S cities like Dallas, San Francisco, New York and Minneapolis to mention a few.  "One year I had 300 travel days," Rosseland said.   "VARG"                     Among his work are seven graphic collections with motifs from Nordic nature and culture.  The first was comprised of 25 prints accompanying Henrik Ibsen's "Per Gynt" (1974).  Then "Sigedalserien" followed with 9 smaller prints (1975), then "Viking suiten" with 10 prints (1982), "Nordkalotten" with 8 prints (1982/83), "Vinland suiten" with 24 prints illustrating the Vikings' landing in America (1984/85), 18 prints of "Norske Kystlinjer" (1986), and a series comprised of 12 motifs around the months of the year for Conoco (1988). Commissioned by Saga Petroleum, the artist has developed 18 graphic prints inspired by Saga poet Snorri Sturlason called the "Snorre Suite." This exhibit will be featured at Union Station as part of the Norwegian Christmas at Union Station in December. All of these collections have motifs and themes from Norway and Norwegian history.  Rosseland said that his choice of theme has been part of a search for what's truly Norwegian.  "I made Peer Gynt way back in order to make something that was Norwegian," Rosseland said.  He added that it was his publicist in New York who had told him, "you have to try to underscore the Norwegian." When working with a historical theme, Rosseland first analyzes the material in search of a story, trying to identify the common denominator.  "Then I try to vision what pictures can become the central ones and then create from there," he explained. His primary source of inspiration is Norway, of course.  Rosseland has made few motifs from other countries.  "Some people say that when they see my pictures that this is more or less how they remember Norway when they for example were in Norway 20 or 30 years ago," he said.  "It becomes-what should one call it-a simplification and easily recognizable.   Snorre V, The Land of Youth Photo:  Courtesy of Rosseland Rosseland describes his choices of color as powerful, pure Nordic colors in red, yellow and blue. Some of Rosseland's motifs from his linocuts have also made it onto a bigger format, tapestries.  This art form was something he picked up while studying in Paris in 1981-82.  "A colleague there knew a colleague.  That's how it goes, right?  And that's how I started with smaller tapestries and then little by little there have been more and more," he said. According to Rosseland, tapestries are a way to get his pictures enlarged.  "In the art form I work with, getting it onto textiles gives a great effect," he added. In addition to linocuts and tapestries, Rosseland has also illustrated posters, postcards, calendars, and books.  He has designed china and crystal for Rosenthal and Rogaska Slatina.  He is a multifaceted man. How much time he spends on his projects each day varies, but we have never had a vacation, he said.  By we, Rosseland means to include his wife, Signe Rosseland.  She guides her husband's exhibition schedule, does all the office work, handles connections and the list goes on.  Rosseland's many projects have become a full time lifestyle for his whole family. Rosseland is currently working on a sculpture of a Viking grave called "Vinland," which will be become part of the permanent sculpture garden planned outside Chicago in Schaumburg, Illinois.  When finished, the planned international sculpture park will, become the largest in the world, according to Rosseland.

ROSSELAND LUTHERAN CHURCH .........McKenzie, North Dakota, USA History of Rosseland Lutheran Church ...... - in homes, school houses, community hall and then in a church. When the early settlers began coming into this area in early 1900's, many of them were of Lutheran faith and not before long wanted Christian worship. About 1908 the Rev. A. Johansen of Alexander saw the need and began holding services in the community. Following him, the Rev. M.L. Holy, also from Alexande, came to hold services occasionally. As a result of these gatherings, Rosseland Lutheran Congregation was finally organiced by Pastor Holey on Sunday, June 5 1911, at A. H. Nelson home. At this service Nora Helene, daughter of Anton and Johanna Nelson, was baptized. On August 6 of the same year Helmer and Mable Helgerson were baptized. NEW PARISH AND NEW PASTOR. Pastor Holey soon found he was unable to care for all the new congregations in McKenzie County, so Rosseland was invited to join with Trinity, Highland and Vang congregations of Alexander to form a new parish and call a new pastor. On Saturday, February 12 1914, a call committee met at Alexander with Otto Wold as chairman and A. H. Nelson as secretary. A call was sent to the Rev. A. J. Berge. It was also decided to pay the pastor $ 700 a year, plus free housing and three offering a year. THE ROSSELAND LADIES' AID. The Rosseland Ladies' Aid was organized in 1914. Since Rosseland congregation has always been linked with Rosseland Ladies' Aid, it is hard to write the history of one without mentioning the other. PASTORS 1914 - 1948 . The Rev. T. Haakenstad next served the congregation, coming to the Aleksander parish on August 3 1914, and remaining until May 1918. He was followed by Rev. O. R. Svore, who served Rosseland congregation faithfully for twenty-two years. After he resigned in 1939, Rev. Karsten Baalson served for about a year until Pastor A. L. Edmunds accepted the call in 1941. In 1944 he resigned and another newly ordinated pastor came to serve the parish, the Rev. Owen Doely. During this time a church building fund was started by the congregation for the first time, and hopes were high. After he resigned in 1947, Rev R. Williams accepted a call to be the pastor of the Alexander Parish. DISBANDMENT - REAKTIVATION. With money still being scarce, and some families moving out, Rosseland congregation decided in 1948 to disband. But the report of disbandment was never sent, so the congregation was never officially disbanded. However, the ladies' aid asked permission to continue… By 1951 there were so many children in the community with no Sunday School that the ladies' aid decided to sponsor a Vacation Bible School … to be held in the Indian Hill School. The response was very god. A meeting to reactivate the Rosseland congregation was held on November 19, 1951. One of the direct results of the congregation becoming active once more, was the baptisms on Sunday, June 6 1954, of fifteen children, ranging from two months in age up to 17 years. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1958. The need of a church building became more and more evident, so members began looking for some vacant building which could be purchased, moved and made into a worshipful sanctuary. After many meetings and discussions, the congregation decided to purchase the Methodist Church at Rawson. A plot of land in the corner of the northwest quarter of section twenty two of Wilbur Township was donated to the congregation by Mr. G. M. Fossum. The ground-breaking service for the new church was held on Sunday afternoon April 22, 1956. The church was moved and placed on the basement foundation on May 31 of that same year. Here it was enlarged and remodelled by members of the congregation, with Ronald Hagen of Williston directing the work of the volunteer labor.The service of dedication was held Sunday, October 19, 1958. " This past year, with the selling of the Lewis and Clark Irrigation Project to the United States Government, many families have to move out of this area. Yet it is with grateful hearts that we gather on this day of dedication to give thanks to our Almighty God for the realization of a dream come true. However, let us never forget there is still much work to be done: To the building as such, but most important of all - the souls that need to be saved and sanctified through the Word. May God continue to shower His blessing upon Rosseland congregation !"
