Hallgrímur Árnason’s paintings emerge through a layered process of movement, intuition, and time. While expressive gestures—strokes, splashes, and marks—play a role, the works evolve beyond immediate action. Layers of paint, revisions, and moments of reflection accumulate like geological formations, creating surfaces shaped by both intent and natural forces.
Rather than emphasizing the presence of the artist, Árnason’s work evokes something elemental—landscapes without fixed narratives, forms that seem both unfamiliar and inherent. The result is an experience that invites curiosity, challenging the viewer to engage with the unknown, not as something to be solved, but as something to be felt.
