Artist Statement:
When entering the computer
graphics arena in 1988 I found
that I could still utilize my
earlier experience from silk
screening on textiles -
and even break new grounds
when merging the two
technologies.
Now the composition, and the
finetuning of the image, was
made possible in a faster,
cleaner - and...

Art Attack
Ian Plenderleith finds artists from Norway and Switzerland exploring the meaning and limits of the game (and the language), while Englishmen past and present have captured the game’s historic vistas
From WSC 204 February 2004
The history of football and art is littered with badly proportioned pencil drawings, misty-edged portraits and, on the pitch, mostly miscued overhead kicks that end up leaving their artists flat on the canvas. Once in a while, though, those overhead shots hit the target and we celebrate the beauty, just as the occasional non-playing artist captures something of the game’s elusive but undeniable aesthetic side.
It’s all a matter of taste, of course, and I’m certainly no qualified critic, but the digital art project Art Onside produced by Steinar Rosenberg to commemorate the centenary of the Fredrikstad club in Norway seems to capture a certain grace, colour and movement in their figures that made me think: “I want full-size posters of those. Now. Or at least a set of postage stamps.” Especially with titles such as Gul Spiller and Svart Keeper.
Rosenberg describes the pictures as “my humble contribution” to the joint venture between the club and the local arts centre, whose aim was to centre on “the idea… that at the core of both football and art is the joy of life”. Fans of Carlisle United and Darlington, or even casual observers of Norway’s national side, may want to dispute that appraisal, but the results illustrate the potentially positive outcome of such inventive collaborations.

Essay by JD Jarvis
Finally, under the heading of “paint and draw” I just had to include this example of Steinar Rosenberg’s work. The simplicity of this piece entitled “Midsummer Day” is intriguing. I enjoy the curves and weight of its few lines and even though he probably used a gradient filter to create the smooth glow that represents the sun’s energy, this piece is mostly about how expressive a simple drawing can be. Even though it is “midsummer” I see in the saturated colors the summer of or near the Arctic Circle where all the sun’s energy still cannot fully pierce all that atmosphere. And yet, there is all the playfulness of summer in the depiction of the sun’s “rays” and the drop shadowed rectangle that floats above a saturated cool spring green.
