Runs until September 1 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, Sure, art can be nice to look at, but sometimes there’s a certain pressure to try and decipher the “true” meaning. But with ‘Image // Object,’ a new exhibit by Icelandic artists Áslaug Íris Katrín Friðjónsdóttir and Guðlaug Mía Eyþórsdóttir, the subject and star of the show is literally the artwork itself and the forms and colours that compose it. Both artists bring something different to the exhibit: Áslaug’s works tend to involve muted colour schemes and raw materials like concrete and wood mixed with drawings and paintings, while Guðlaug plays with vivid colours, striking forms, and even illusions in her pieces. Come enjoy this feast for the eyes, and don’t overthink it. The piece is a part of the Kunstschlager Chamber. KES ART ONGOING
