... is one of Norway's absolute greatest and most important classic-realistic artists alive today, Both as an outstanding sculpturer and gifted painter. I had the privilege of meeting him for the first time back in 1982, and have, up through the years, enjoyed the great pleasure of belonging to his circle of good friends and admirers.  And, apart from being a great artist, Oddmund is also an extraordinary concerned and giving person, who with tremendous energy and enthusiasm shares his vast knowledge from the world of art and life itself, with friends and acquaintances.
