The works on display cover Ingimarsdóttir’s career of more than two decades and the exhibition is a part of Reykjavík Art Museum’s exhibition series with an aim to examine and present the career of important working artists. \nThe title of the exhibition\, opus – oups\, is telling for Guðný Rósa’s art\, her environment and neverending amazement over the beauty and the artistic aspects of everyday things. “Opus” means work (of art) and “oups” is the French for “oops”\, but Guðný Rósa lives and works in Belgium\, in a French-speaking environment. The title indicates a pause\, the awe that we feel when small things\, insignificant in themselves\, become art – but Guðný Rósa’s work is often created from random\, found material\, even materials that have served as artwork in a different context. The title is also mischievous\, as it could be considered an anagram. \nIn her work\, Ingimarsdóttir seeks inspiration in her surroundings and experiences. She has worked with diverse media\, such as audio and sculptures\, but her paper work has always been prominent. Her work is characterised by precision and is often hand carved\, drawn in delicate pencil\, stitched in thread and even assembled from different materials. She often uses miscellaneous paper such as carbon paper\, graph paper\, wallpaper and common printing paper\, with earnest and personal results. \nIngimarsdóttir was born in Reykjavík 1969. She studied at The Icelandic College of Art and Crafts and finished her postgraduate education from L’Ensav La Cambre in Brussels and HISK in Antwerp\, Belgium\, Her work has been displayed in solo exhibitions in Iceland and around Europe. Her work can be found in public museums in France\, Belgium\, Slovenia and Iceland. Ingimarsdóttir lives and works in Belgium. \nThis exhibition is the fifth in a series of exhibitions at Kjarvalsstaðir which presents the career of a working artist who has already\, through fully formed author characteristics\, made their mark on the history of Icelandic art. \nIn connection with the exhibition\, Reykjavík Art Museum publishes a grand catalogue with photos from the exhibition as well as photos of Ingimarsdóttir’s works and texts about the artist and her subjects.

Kjarval (1885-1972)\, a pioneer of Icelandic art. Kjarval opened people’s eyes to their environment in such a dramatic way that he is considered one of the most beloved artists of art history in Iceland. In this exhibition works by Kjarval are paired with those by contemporary artists\, and in doing so\, merge ideas from different times. \nHere you can see direct reference to Kjarval´s works in approach and work method. Kjarval’s main subject was nature and landscape. Mountainsides\, lava and moss inspire artists. Two time periods show different approaches to nature\, whether in imagery\, character\, or conceptual foundation of the work. Place and time spent in nature are at the core of these artworks\, or have a strong influence on the artist´s interpretation. The countryside speaks to people at any given moment and the need to express that experience in a way of its own is renewed generation after generation. These works reflect varied media\, different trends and the changing spirits of the times. \nKjarval plays a large role in the history of Icelandic art and culture\, and he has been a role model and inspiration for generations of artists. His persona and life’s work surrounds us\, for good reason. Kjarval’s work is preserved and examined at Reykjavík Art Museum – Kjarvalsstaðir. Selected pieces are always on display and diverse exhibitions show his career in a wide context\, often with works from the museum collection or with special exhibitions that focus on particular aspects of his creative process. This exhibition places Kjarval’s work in a dialogue with the works of younger\, contemporary artists. Thus\, the exhibition invites us to become better acquainted with one of the greatest Icelandic artists\, but also the works of prominent contemporary artists who have made their mark on the Icelandic and international art scene.

Kjarval (1885-1972) create a thread which connects different periods in time. His art is displayed along with the works of artists who have been prominent on the Icelandic art scene in recent years. \nShortly after Kjarval’s death\, art historian Björn Th. Björnsson (1922-2007) wrote an article where he discusses Kjarval’s contribution to Icelandic art history and says that his work is “never bound to one particular time\, but always contains renascent memories.” This shows the great respect which Icelanders have had for Kjarval’s art\, but also the fact that at any given time\, the viewers bring their own experience and attitude to the viewing. Kjarval’s influence is unquestionable\, and in the exhibition\, the spotlight is on his influence on Icelandic artists. This can manifest in many different ways; be obvious and decisive or appear in a more ambiguous way and without intent. \nKjarval’s most common and beloved subject was Icelandic nature and landscape\, but he also painted many portraits and fantasy images where creatures and figures emerge\, and various nature phenomena are personified. The artworks on display here are created in diverse media\, expressing different approaches to these subjects. \nKjarval plays a large role in the history of Icelandic art and culture\, and he has been a role model and inspiration for generations of artists. His persona and life’s work surrounds us\, for good reason. Kjarval’s work is preserved and examined at Reykjavík Art Museum – Kjarvalsstaðir. Selected pieces are always on display and diverse exhibitions show his career in a wide context\, often with works from the museum collection or with special exhibitions that focus on particular aspects of his creative process. This exhibition places Kjarval’s work in a dialogue with the works of younger\, contemporary artists. Thus\, the exhibition invites us to become better acquainted with one of the greatest Icelandic artists\, but also the works of prominent contemporary artists who have made their mark on the Icelandic and international art scene. \nWe experience a break in the visual field in Ólafur Elíasson’s work. For the first time in Iceland\, a series of paintings which Ragnar Kjartansson painted in Eldhraun – inspired by a Kjarval painting in the artists possession – is on display. The video installation Lava&Moss by Steina is one of the more comprehensive works in the exhibition\, and there are new paintings by Eggert Pétursson. Among other artists who take part in this exhibition are Guðrún Einarsdóttir\, Hrafnkell Sigurðsson\, Kristján Guðmundsson\, Ragna Róbertsdóttir and Sigurður Guðjónsson.
