Painting by gudmundur thoroddsen

Happenstance


The exhibition's paintings tell a seamless story that invites the viewer to interpret it after their own heart. Much like the occurrences in poetry, sentences and alliteration come together in colors and forms that Guðmundur records on canvas with effortless brushstrokes and the sharp drawing of oil-sticks. The paintings are not calculated; they are fluid and impulsive, where one thing leads to another and ultimately come together in perfect balance. This playful approach by Guðmundur to painting yields an abstract experience that can be likened to nature, where indeterminate forms, colors, and textures are woven together, speaking directly to human emotions.
