cians and no chocolate cakes, but visitors at Gallerí Fold will find a good sample of
the peculiar and fascinating technique of Bragi, one of the most important artists
in Iceland whose paintings leave no one indifferent. Don’t delay or you will have to
wait another year until Braga turns 81. That’s too much! JH
