In this exhibition, visitors are invited into a carnival where the surroundings are bathed in a pink glow. Objects, people and animals appear in distorted forms for entertainment, and the brightness of the colors is turned up to the extreme. The color pink in particular is used to highlight beauty and desire.

Yet while we have fun, much escapes our attention. Within the chaos of the images and sculptures lie the unpredictable consequences that follow when we allow ourselves to be tempted. By reflecting back what is created to be entertaining and desirable, I ask: what do we truly long for, and what does that longing leave behind?

Nína Þorbjörg Árnadóttir is a BA student in Fine Art at the Iceland University of the Arts, after completing a year at the painting department at The Reykjavík School of Visual Arts. Pink Carnival is her first solo exhibition, though she has previously participated in group exhibitions with the painting department.

She often works with mixed media and is currently expanding her practice through new mediums. Her work explores themes of people’s inner life and relationships, interpreted with figures, text, and the methods she finds most appropriate in each instance.
