Current and Upcoming Exhibitions
Past Exhibitions
Energy in form
Stone sculptures charged with movement and vitality
Jo Kley presents stone sculptures that embody both material and immaterial energy. Each form captures the artist’s belief in the freedom of art and the transformative power of sculptural expression.
Bergmál-Ekko
Group exhibition by six female artists from Iceland and Norway
A collaboration exploring the dialogue between Icelandic and Norwegian nature, BERGMÁL / EKKO brings together prints, wall pieces, and artist books that reflect shared artistic processes across borders and landscapes.
Þrjú korter af tungli
Þrjú korter af tungli (“Three Quarters of the Moon”) presents new paintings by Ólöf Björg Björnsdóttir exploring emotional intensity and transformation. Through powerful, expressive brushwork, she captures the space between abstraction and feeling — moments of reflection, vulnerability, and renewal.
Teiknað í járn
Drawn in Iron presents new works by sculptor Helgi Gíslason, where drawing becomes a sculptural act. Working directly in glowing iron, Helgi explores the meeting point between thought and material — where gesture, heat, and form merge into expressions of quiet strength and intuition.
Portrett
Portraits by Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir presents 65 ink paintings made from live sittings between 2019 and 2024. Each work captures the immediacy of presence — the meeting between artist and model — where the hand’s movement and the moment’s perception create portraits that are both intimate and spontaneous.
Frávik
Explorations in form, perception, and deviation
Three artists present new works built on different materials and approaches, united by a curiosity toward material qualities and transformation. Their drawings, sculptures, and mixed-media works explore perception, nature, and the boundaries of form.
