On Saturday, February 28th at 14:00, Eggert Pétursson, visual artist, will welcome guests and talk about his works at the exhibition Roði, which ends the same weekend. The exhibition features both new paintings and graphic works by the artist, who for many years has drawn attention for his unique and passionate interest in Icelandic nature, especially the flora of the country.
In the Sverrir Hall of Hafnarborg, Eggert shows paintings created specifically for this exhibition, continuing his exploration of Icelandic nature and now turning his gaze upward – to mountain vegetation and the open sky. The smallest plants become a grand landscape where vegetation and the earth’s surface shift into a finely tuned visual structure reflecting time, light, and change. A series of new graphic works is also shown, made in connection with the upcoming translation of Paradise from Dante’s Divine Comedy, where the spiritual and symbolic world meets the artist’s earthy perspective.
Eggert Pétursson (b. 1956) lives and works in Reykjavík. He studied at the Icelandic College of Art and Crafts and the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. His works have been exhibited at the Living Art Museum, Reykjavík Art Museum, Hafnarborg, Nordatlantens Brygge in Copenhagen, and the Pori Art Museum in Finland. Eggert received second prize in the Carnegie Art Award 2006 (Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Reykjavík, Copenhagen, and Nice). He also illustrated the popular edition of Icelandic Flora by Ágúst H. Bjarnason, first published in 1983. Eggert works with the i8 Gallery in Reykjavík, where he has exhibited many times. Various books dedicated to his works have also been published.
Admission is free – everyone is welcome.
