​A group exhibition showcasing the works of members of the Reykjavík Sculptor's Association, presented in the association’s workshops at Nýlendugata, Reykjavík, Iceland.
​​
Reykjavik Sculpture Association began to formalise due to the outdoor exhibitions on Skólavörduholt in the 1960s, but was formally established in 1972. The association has long been active in creating exhibitions in Reykjavik and abroad as well as being a participant in the Reykjavik Arts Festival and Reykjavik Culture City of Europe in 2000. The association has created a multitude of projects such as the exhibitions Hjólið / The Wheel public art exhibition in the city of Reykjavik, Art on the Land, Strandlengjan I and II, Firma '99 as well as numerous other outdoor exhibitions around the country and abroad.
The association main focal point apart from creating exhibition projects is to focus on the working facilities and the working conditions of sculptors reciting in Iceland. During the first two decades the association had facilities in Korpúlfsstadir and built up a powerful representation of the Icelandic art scene. In 1993, the association signed an agreement with the City of Reykjavik for the use of Nýlendugata 15 where it runs workshops and studios for practicing artist based in Iceland.

My artistic practice explores the connections embedded in the complex and often contradictory emotions that arise in everyday moments, both within humanmade environments and the natural world. Living with a chronic illness has shaped my creative process into a form of inner meditation and healing. I draw inspiration from my immediate surroundings, transforming ordinary objects into works that carry deeper meaning. My work ranges from dreamlike compositions that highlight contrasts, lines, and color, to pieces marked by compulsive repetition, where layers of delicate lines, shapes, and hues shift fluidly between the figurative and the abstract.
​
In the drawings Ílát, common household objects such as flower pots, containers, baskets are assembled into complex, multi-layered arrangements that reflect the concept of a prototype rather than a direct, realistic depiction. These vessels intertwine and overlap, coming together as cohesive forms. They serve not only as physical structures but also as spaces that hold and frame patterns, textures, and colors, giving them shape and intention. Acting almost like an embrace, the containers gather and contain the visual expression that emerges from the artist’s intuitive and free-flowing process.
​
The sculptural works engage in a direct dialogue with the drawing at the exhibition, Í lát. What binds them together is their shared foundation in domestic, utilitarian vessels. While the drawings feature stately flower pots and and other classic household containers, the sculptures replace these with more modest, disposable plastic packaging. These once discarded materials are offered a renewed existence, transformed and elevated, both energetically and in terms of perceived value, within a broader social context.
The works in the exhibition Í lát were created between 2022 and 2025.
They consist of eight framed drawings made with acrylic, ink, charcoal, colored pencil and pencil on paper: Flókin Ílát / Layered Vessels 2024, four works, each measuring 42 x 60 cm. Ílát / Vessels 2022- 2023, four works, three measuring 24 x 34 cm, and one measuring 30 x 42 cm.
The exhibition also includes four sculptures: Ílát í Sundur / Vessels Disassembled 2025, a free-standing sculpture made of plaster, wood, mirror, and string, measuring 80 x 80 x 160 cm. Einnota Ílát /Disposable Vessels 2025, two wall bas relief made of plaster, each measuring 5 x 14 x 22 cm. Botnar /Bottoms, 2025 – a wall-mounted hanging piece made of plaster, wooden beads, iron hook, and string, measuring 15 x 80 cm.

Gallery Grótta, Seltjarnarnes, Iceland
Two-artist exhibiton with Marta María Jónsdóttir
​​


Spending prolonged periods of time indoors, surrounded by everyday furniture, potted plants and other household objects, the mind naturally drifts into the world of still life, a genre long associated with traditional, feminine, and at times, outdated ideals. Within this quiet and isolated domestic space, inspiration can emerges. The serene presence of houseplants becomes a point of reference for creating familiar, still life drawings. The work reflects on the historical role of women artists who, due to imposed gender roles, were often compelled to center their artistic practice around the home. This viewpoint is examined through a historical lens, drawing attention to themes of domesticity, isolation, and the still life tradition.
The works in the exhibition Plöntur were created between 2018 and 2019.
They include eight framed drawings on paper and two drawings on panel, made with acrylic, ink, charcoal, and colored pencil: Drawings on paper: one measuring 21 x 30 cm, three measuring 29 x 41 cm, and three measuring 41 x 59 cm. Two drawings on panel: 60 x 75 cm and 80 x 90 cm.
Additionally, the exhibition features five canvas paintings by Marta María Jónsdóttir.
