This exhibition features the latest works by Icelandic artist Helga Páley Friðþjófsdóttir, focusing on her unique approach to painting as a form of intuitive drawing. The works reflect a cyclical process of creation, exploring how color, form, and repetition layer together to build meaning on the canvas.
In 'With In It All,' Helga Páley Friðþjófsdóttir explores the intersection between painting and drawing, defining herself as a 'drawer' whose practice is rooted in constant engagement, repetition, and intuitive discovery. Drawing from the concept of the studio as a place of 'total struggle,' the exhibition frames the act of making as a looping, circular process that activates the hand, head, and body, constantly reacting to the immediate present. Through an accumulation of lines, circles, and colors, Friðþjófsdóttir constructs her works in an organic, instinctual manner. The exhibition highlights her ability to see 'into the future' of a painting, layering colors and textures until images settle onto the canvas, mirroring the complexities and continuous evolution of the world around us.
