On Saturday, November 1st at 14:00, artist Þórir Gunnarsson will welcome guests to the exhibition Elding, currently on view at the museum in connection with the festival Art Without Borders. Earlier this year, Þórir was named the festival’s Artist of the Year. Þórir and curator Unnur Mjöll S. Leifsdóttir will discuss the themes and focus of his work.
In the exhibition, Þórir Gunnarsson, also known by his artist name Listapúkinn, invites guests into a visual world that is deeply personal and filled with playfulness. He draws inspiration from his surroundings – from bus rides and runs to nature itself – and his interest in people and sports shines through in the energy of his works. Working primarily with drawing and watercolour, Þórir blends observation and experience, layering material and ideas to create a new reality.
Þórir works at Listvinnzlan as an artist, consultant, and assistant teacher, and has focused on increasing access to culture and art education for people with disabilities. For this pioneering work, he received Þroskahjálp’s Múrbrjótur Award in 2021. His works have been exhibited widely, including at the Nordic House, Gerðarsafn, and Reykjavík Art Museum, and he has been named Municipal Artist of Mosfellsbær.
Admission is free – everyone is welcome.
