Admission: 1,500 ISK.
Escape into the mind of Belgian artist Berlinde de Bruyckere
at the National Gallery of Iceland’s latest exhibition. Berlinde’s
paintings and sculptures are powerful representations of the
human and equine form, and have been shaped by influences
ranging from the Flemish and German Renaissance period to
the artist’s own imagination. Prepare to be moved by the phys-
icality of her work, which combines wax, animal skins, hair
and other media to create contorted forms. This is Berlinde’s
first exhibition in Iceland, in a career that spans three decades
and included an appearance at the 2003 Venice Biennale. IW
