Saturday, October 11th at 15 we celebrate the opening of Þórir Gunnarsson’s solo exhibition, Elding, in honor of his recognition as a Bordersless Art artist 2025.

In the exhibition, Þórir Gunnarsson, also known by his artist name Listapúkinn, invites us into a visual world that is both deeply personal and full of playful energy. Þórir draws inspiration from his surroundings—whether on bus or running trips, or from nature—but he also has an endless interest in human life and sports, both as an enthusiastic supporter and participant, including taking part in marathon races.

Þórir’s works reflect passion and vitality, born from diligence, perseverance, and a strong creative drive. He primarily works with drawing and watercolor, approaching these mediums with curiosity and intuition. Drawings created during his bus journeys also inspire pieces that capture scenes from everyday life and fleeting moments, where layers of material and ideas build a new reality.

Þórir works at Listvinnslan as an artist, consultant, and assistant teacher, emphasizing improving access to culture and art education for people with disabilities. For this pioneering work, he received the Múrbrjót Þroskahjálpar award in 2021. He has also been named the town artist of Mosfellsbær and has exhibited widely, including at the Nordic House, Gerðarsafn, and the Reykjavik Art Museum.

Þórir is not only a visual artist but also a cultural advocate and music enthusiast who enjoys connecting with people and being part of a creative community. Through this exhibition, he invites viewers to experience the driving force behind his work—joy, movement, creativity, and dialogue with others—like a spark that illuminates and ignites new ideas.

Admission is free – everyone is welcome.
