The interpretation of the seen and the unseen, landscape, and oral tradition were some of his main topics throughout his career, which spanned the first half of the twentieth century. His paintings and drawings reflect sincere love for the country and the nation, and the works chosen for this exhibition reflect the scope of the artist’s themes.

On permanent view Gallerí Skilti ‘Al Dente’ by Tuomas A. Laitinen This multimedia exhibition combines light, sound, and video, and is inspired by the artist’s time in China; in particular, by his findings in “hutong” (narrow paths or valleys) in Beijing.

Runs until December 15 Gallery Tukt (Hitt Husið) ‘INDONESIAN LOVERS FROM OUTER SPACE’ This exhibition features the works of five young artists, and though their pieces vary greatly in style, all of them fit the theme of outer space in some way.

Runs until August 30 Hornið ‘Take Two’ by Jóhann Vilhjálmsson Part artist, part musician, and part chef, Jóhann is a true jack-of-all-trades. His mediums are pastels and ink, and he gravitates towards bold, bright colours. His subjects range from people, to landscapes, scenes and more, but all have a surrealist quality in common. On permanent view Hverfisgallerí ‘Hreintjarnir’ by Harpa Árnadóttir This exhibition of paintings portrays the Icelandic summer and its breathtaking landscapes and never-ending sunlight through vivid colour schemes and poetic imagery. Runs until August 22 i8 Gallery ‘Me and My Mother 2015’ by Ragnar Kjartansson Celebrated artist Ragnar Kjartansson displays his latest video work, capturing the artist’s mother spitting on him, in her own living room.

His works tend to be very abstract and colourful, with rich textures. Runs until August 16 Living Art Museum (Nýló) ‘Adorn’ Using the work of all female artists and the curation of Becky Forsythe, ‘Adorn’ Ever wonder what the afterlife would sound like? Especially when composed by history’s most famous composers like Bach, Chopin, and Schumann? If so, you better thank your stars for Rosemary Brown. Much like Miss Cleo, John Edward, and the Long Island Medium, Rosemary Brown had a special affinity for the dead. Like a necro-groupie, she communicated with composers from various centuries and wrote down their compositions as dictated to her from beyond the grave. No, this is not a gothic romance novel. As part of the Lókal International Theater Festival, you can get comfy with Brown during ‘WHEN I DIE - a ghost story with music’ by Thom Luz—a theatrical piece completely scored with compositions by Brown (or your history textbook’s greatest supergroup?).
