Kjell Pahr-Iversen (b. 1937, Norway) is a painter whose practice is rooted in abstract formalism and an intuitive engagement with color, texture, and spiritual symbolism. Over a career spanning seven decades, Pahr-Iversen has developed a distinct visual language that draws from sacred geometry and meditative repetition. His compositions are often described as lyrical, radiating a quiet intensity that evokes both discipline and transcendence.
Kjell Pahr-Iversen lives and works in Stavanger. His work has been exhibited widely in Europe and Asia, and is part of public collections including Stavanger Art Museum, The National Museum (NO), and multiple diplomatic missions abroad.
