Ívar attempts to explore the quality and nature of paint and colour as well as how light, reflection, and perspective controls how color manifests itself and how we experience it. Ívar’s art is born around views of our everyday environment. Known for his un-whimsical approach to art, Ívar tends to use his materials in their most literal and direct terms. In his most recent exhibit, he explores among other things how liquid paint creates a still surface in a tub of paint and how paint forms different surfaces under different circumstances. Ívar poses the question, “Can we imagine the sun as the opening of a giant paint bucket that pours its yellow rays over the world?” Opens on January 11 i8, Klapparstígur 33
