EducationStaatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (1971-1978)

He studied at the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorff (1971 – 78), Klasse Professor Joseph Beuys. Dobloug is an important Norwegian artist, who left Norway and what be believed to be a rigid educational system for performing arts, to find his own way. Dobloug’s works have been shown in a large number of exhibitions, in Norway and abroad.[2]

His works are mainly acrylic paintings displaying either abstract motifs or heads/faces. They are humorous, partly with contradictory elements in respect of both motif, composition and colours. The works span from strict geometric paintings including grid-patterns, to playful paintings executed with a rough, almost expressive, brush. There is furthermore conceptual side to Dobloug’s project. Still, this is not the dominant feature of his works.[3]

Dobloug was granted the Norwegian Government Grant for Artists from 1995.
