Margrét H. Blöndal – Schlag

The sculptural installations and drawings of Margrét H. Blöndal have a fragile, fleeting effect and yet are strangely compelling. Constructed of such everyday materials as rubber, foam, paper and plastic, the objects often feature bright or gaudy colors. Rather than reducing or abstracting materials and forms, the artist’s aesthetic is based almost entirely on nuances.

The exhibition was supported by the City of Reykjavik, the Association of Icelandic Visual Artists and the Icelandic Visual Art Copyright Association.
