This exhibition, titled 'Landslag' (Landscape), showcases the debut solo show of artist Erla Halldórsdóttir at Hannesarholt. The collection focuses on the artist's emotive interpretation of landscapes, sky, and earth, rendered through acrylics and soft pastels based on her travels and memory.
In her first solo exhibition at Hannesarholt, artist Erla Halldórsdóttir presents a collection of works centered on the themes of landscape, sky, and earth. The artist notes that her paintings are not necessarily precise depictions of specific locations but are instead reflections of her own emotional connection to the landscapes she has encountered during her travels. These memories of nature are synthesized into imagery that finds its final form on canvas. Halldórsdóttir employs a variety of mediums, including oils, acrylics, and, more recently, soft pastels. She often lets color choice dictate the direction of her work, frequently utilizing earthy tones when working with acrylics. Her soft pastel works are typically composed from fragments of images and landscape elements that captured her interest. Having trained under various artists both in Iceland and abroad, this exhibition represents the culmination of her recent artistic exploration and participation in numerous group shows.
The exhibition is a sales exhibition and is open to the public during Hannesarholt's regular opening hours: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 11:30 to 16:00.
