Exhibition opening 15 August at 18:00.
We are proud to show Anna Marie Sigmond Gudmundsdottir's solo exhibition Ginnungagap in Tegnerforbundet . Gudmunddottir works with installation, photography, painting and drawing, and her expression is reminiscent of traces and lines in landscapes. She herself says about her work:
In my work with drawing and painting my starting point is the experience of landscapes as a transformer for inner processes (both urban and rural landscapes). The starting point is experienced memories and experiences, where I am concerned with the transitions where a view or a place becomes an insight and part of an abstract memory. The paintings and drawings stand as a bridge between the real world and the mental, where memories from different landscapes change character and volume after the physical experience took place, where the material experience is marginal, while what it leaves behind is in constant motion and change.
I am interested in drawing as an instrument for inner mental processes based on experienced memories and experiences, where what you do not see in a picture can become more important than what you see!
