Oivind Hovland creates beautifully balanced narratives with simple shapes and a sophisticated use of color. They illustrate the story in such a way that the viewer knows there is more to it than what initially meets the eye. He describes it best when he says, ““I love illustrating scenes with the feeling that you’ve walked into a room and something has just happened or something is about to happen,” says Hovland. “I’m always trying to create situations where there’s a bit of energy in the scene, but you can’t quite grasp it.”
