Sigurður Atli Sigurðsson, supervisor at the printmaking studio, will open Salon, a solo show at Gallerí Laugalækur - January 19th at 17:00.

Excerpt from the exhibition text by Gavin Morrison:

Sigurður Atli Sigurðsson (b. 1988) is unusually attentive to those incidental moments and structures of modern life within which we leave an oblique trace of our presence. [...] Their [the drawings] primary colours and geometric appearance may suggest the austere forms of minimalism—art that decries the presence of gesture and the human touch. But within each of the apertures is a scribble. The simplest gesture made absentmindedly while engaged in another task or pragmatically in trying to make the ink flow in a pen. They are actions which are on the edge of becoming a drawing, where intention has not yet surfaced.”
