In his solo exhibition, Marks of Seasons, artist Tolli explores the evocative landscape of the Icelandic highlands. Through a series of paintings, he captures the nuanced transition between winter and summer, reflecting on the beauty of seasonal change and personal growth.
Marks of Seasons invites viewers on a journey through the Icelandic highlands, inspired by Tolli's own experiences walking the trail between Hrafntinnusker and Landmannalaugar. The exhibition captures a unique moment of environmental intersection where summer blooms in the valleys while winter still clings to the peaks. By observing the landscape with attentiveness, Tolli shifts from his traditionally heightened color palette to a more grounded selection of earth tones, softened blues, and the distinct whites of snow against pastel skies. Beyond the physical landscape, the exhibition reflects on the philosophical dimensions of time and presence. Tolli's practice incorporates textures and brushwork that mirror the fractured elements of the terrain, while also leaving areas of the canvas exposed to invite contemplation. The works serve as an meditation on the beauty found in life's quiet transitions and the Buddhist-influenced practice of meeting each stage of life with gratitude and clarity.
