Exhibitions
over and done with
...And
many thanks to those who came, saw and - not
to mention - either purchased some truly unique
art, or began a collaboration to produce fresh
series and the breaking of boundaries yet again...
Truly special thanks to the wonderful people
at SÍM
for the kind assistance and hospitality; and
even more exclamations of gratitude to the wonderful
staff at Litir
og Föndur for the service, tolerance
and fair prices. The artist salutes you all
!!!
That
said, expect some fresh artwork to appear soon
enough as the studio is cluttered with 'pieces-in-the-making';
some in colour, others not so much... So much
to do.
...And
a something special has begun to appear under
the BLACKENED
banner of the Cryptogenic series; a something
to be discovered by the lucky few as time passes
under the lessening winter sun here in the cold,
darkening north.

SÍM
exhibition closing down
Location: Hafnarstræti
16, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland

The
closing date is indeed set on the 24th of October.
Open every day between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and
a last chance to see some of these works for a
while.
Massive updates:
Introducing much of the Blackened/Cryptogenic
series
With
the final week of the exhibition at the SÍM
Gallery upon us (see below for details); there has
been some urgency to add the numerous additions
to the Blackened series (Sortnun) to this interweb
domain...
Not
entirely complete; the BLACKENED
page does however show the mainstay of the series
(in variable quality with apologies) and more shall
certainly be added as photographs emerge.
Another
edition here and at this time, would be the SALES
section where most unsold works will appear and
remain until they are - well... - sold. Feel free
to head to the contact
section if you see something you like. Requests/inquiries
will be met with all what haste the artist possesses.
...And
I'd like to point the visitor to the 'F' icon -
on the left of this text - as well as the link to
the "Arkiv.is" artist collect which hosts
some of my work along with some detailed explanation
and would-be art theory that underscores what lies
before us.
Enjoy
the works...
Ave,

Exhibition at
the SÍM gallery - Hafnarstræti 16,
Rvk
Torg/Listamessa
Art event behind us (many thanks to the hundreds of
intrepid visitors and the outstanding SÍM staff
who accomplished the seemingly unachievable); all
focus remains on the current event at Hafnarstræti
16, Reykjavík, where 21 pieces of the fast
growing series can be seen.
Expect
a full update to this website soon (as I intend to
include the vast amount of works that have been created
in the last year or so). In the meantime, enjoy some
images and explanations at the following address (tap
for English in the top corner): https://arkiv.is/artist/617
...And
- of course - a sample image of Kali (one of the Gorgon
series) that now hangs at the show room mentioned
above:

October exhibitions
and new series
Having
begun a newfound direction in Art: it is time to declare
the Cryptogenic style; in a series I commonly refer
to as Blackened ("Sortnun" in Icelandic).
This does not prevent further indulgence and work in
the more 'colourful' works of figurative fantasy and
exploration of the Norse heritage (plenty more coming
there I assure you), but let it be known that the glue
(so to speak) is 'constructivism' as I have found a
deep, personal connection to the constructivist works
of the early to mid last century.
Suffice
to say - for the time being - I shall focus on developing
"Black on Black" further and would invite
anyone in Iceland to join me at two exhibitions launched
simultaneously. It's madness, but it's Art !!!
Updates
will be coming soon enough and do click on the image
below to be directed to the event on Facebook:

Translation effort: At Korpúlfsstaðir,
Reykjavík - 4th to 6th of October
Thursday, the 3d of October (opens at
1700 hrs) at the SÍM Gallery, Hafnarstræti
16, Reykjavík
SERIES updated
Having
had the benefit of sound advice; the leap has been taken
to augment the growing selection of Norse Art with links
to information and background to the many stories and
characters depicted therein. Of course, Wikipedia can
only offer so much and the visitor is encouraged to quest
further to gain proper insights in to the splendid realm
of Norse lore and Sagas.
Skál,
D/N
More series to come...
Plenty
in the works here and the artist quite ecstatic to announce
the birth of several new series and artforms here in the
studio; to somewhat herald a great change that is about
to befall... All very good and more news as events warrant,
but I advice any viewer to head over to the Series
section of this website to glimpse the first of three in
the 'Sortnun/Blackened' series; much more incoming as the
next two are indeed finished and ready for photography...
Ave,
D/N
Exhibitions, website update
and more...
Another
long stretch of things in-between updates and any viewer is
adviced to head to my Facebook
page for more regular news on completed artwork, exhibitions
and what else that comes about.
More
artwork has indeed been completed, much of what is sold already
and with fresh series and commissions. To say the least, some
of my best efforts are sure to decorate the Artwork and Series
sections of this website. More to be added soon enough and
feel free to scale down below for a selection of images from
my recent exhibition at Gallery Gátt here in Iceland...
Enjoy
!!!

New Studio
It
has indeed been a while since the last update, but much has
progressed and the art goes ever on and onwards as natural
laws permit. A new and more reclusive studio - this time in
Reykjavik - has been secured and more news following as events
warrant. Let there be art!!!

!m! work
in progress !m!

Much
to do in the studio and already; the next exhibition is merely
around the corner. The theme should be somewhat centred around
the old gods of the Ásatrú, or Nordic faith. The paintings
are looking quite promising, if I may say so myself...
Watch
this space for regular - say, weekly - updates and hold Sunday,
the 21st of June (summer solstice) free if you wish to. See
you soon enough...
Let
there be art !!!
