Wednesday November 12th from 17:00–19:00, at the closing of the exhibition Elding, guests are invited to meet the artist himself, Þórir Gunnarsson, also known by his artist name Listapúkinn. Þórir, who is the featured artist of Art Without Borders 2025, will be present at his solo exhibition in Hafnarborg with materials for art-making and will offer a live performance where he draws guests and visitors in his unique and creative way. This creates a living dialogue between the artist, the work, and the audience, as the lines emerge directly from the moment.
In the exhibition, Þórir Gunnarsson, also known as Listapúkinn, guides guests into an artistic world that is both personal and filled with playfulness. Þórir draws inspiration from his surroundings – from bus and running trips to nature – and his interest in human life and sports is reflected in the energy of his works. He primarily works with drawing and watercolors, and in his art, observation and experience merge as layers of material and ideas create a new reality.
At this closing event, guests will also have the opportunity to talk with Þórir about his art, the process behind the works, and what sparks his creativity. This is the perfect opportunity to gain deeper insight into the world of the exhibition and to get to know the artist and his creative process. Coffee and kleinur will be served, and a warm and creative atmosphere is guaranteed.
Admission free – see you at Hafnarborg.
