A Collection of Colors Exhibition by Högna Heiðbjört Jónsdóttir at Þula Gallery Hafnartorg

In this exhibition, Högna Heiðbjört Jónsdóttir explores the intersection of human feelings and the color spectrum. Featuring thirteen new works, the collection utilizes unconventional materials such as paint sample cards, discarded drawings, and industrial wall paint to recontextualize everyday objects.

A Collection of Colors presents thirteen new works by artist Högna Heiðbjört Jónsdóttir, an exhibition centered on the relationship between human perception, emotion, and the spectrum of color. Jónsdóttir, known for her instinctive approach to painting, shifts the focus toward the beauty inherent in everyday life by recontextualizing ordinary materials. The exhibition challenges visitors to reconsider the mundane surroundings they often overlook, highlighting the hidden synergy found in daily routines. The materiality of the exhibition is central to its concept; all the featured pieces are composed of materials sourced from paint stores, ranging from purchased supplies to collected and donated items. Jónsdóttir incorporates color sample cards as paint and utilizes unintentional drawings by others, integrating these elements into a process that elevates standard wall paint into a fine art medium. Through this careful arrangement, the exhibition serves as a profound meditation on how we carry colors within our own perception.
