Thordis Adalsteinsdottir
See past exhibition “What We Did Yesterday”
In painting, drawing and sculpture, Thordis Adalsteinsdottir presents emotionally charged moments in a weightless manner. Her personable narratives are often hilariously sinister and casually violent. Eccentricity distinguishes her work, peculiarly portraying the symbolic relationship between human, plant and animal life. Out of flat planes and shapes comes vivid color that punctuates the existential narrative. In Adalsteinsdottir’s paintings one finds raw spontaneity clashing with the refinement of a carefully controlled execution.
