On May 15, artist Helga Óskarsdóttir
opened an exhibition in the artist op-
erated Gallery Dvergur. The exhibition
includes a brand new, sectional piece
where the artist approach to its subject
is of an unorthodox kind, i.e. instead of
enhancing it in order to view the small-
est details, she reduces it and observes
it externally. Helga’s earlier works in-
clude dealings with various kinds of
landscape and she has a reputation for
finding hidden jewels in human sur-
roundings and bringing them on to the
surface, such as fractures in rusty walls
and she has even discovered long lost
continents hidden in a weathered layer
of nail polish.
