It is a great honor for us to welcome these distinguished Swedish artists in our venue, as this is the first time their work is being exhibited in Iceland.<br \/>\nDuring the work process of the five works Fredrik S\u00f6derberg is showing in Hallgr\u00edmskirkja, he took interest in the monk Beatus of Li\u00e9bana\u2019s (730-785) manuscript of Revelation, which later came to be transcribed in the monastery of Saint Sever in France, hence the name Alpha et Omega.<\/p>\n<p>There are primitive and architectural features in the old manuscript that S\u00f6derberg has tried to translate into the paintings presented in Hallgrimskirkja. The symmetry present in ancient masterpieces are fascinating in all their simplicity.<\/p>\n<p>Christine \u00d6dlund\u2019s work deals with the ability to transcend language barriers between people and plants and barriers between the invisible and the visible.<\/p>\n<p>Three of works shown were made with an intensely dark background colour and almost abstract motifs, made with natural pigments, which when combined makes for a highly concentrated biological concoction.<\/p>\n<p>The collage, Exploding Star is a veritable visual explosion in itself, combining a number of drawings illustrating what cannot be fully understood, the cosmic wonders taking place outside our atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Christine \u00d6dlund has been active in the international art scene and has taken part in exhibitions such as Momentum Nordic Biennal of Contemporary Art in Moss, Norway and the Marrakesh Biennale in Morocco.<\/p>\n<p>Fredrik S\u00f6derberg\u2019s work has been shown in the Historiska Museet in Stockholm, Galleri Riis in Oslo, the Swedish Institute in Paris and in Magasin III, Stockholm.<\/p>\n<p>Both artists live and work in Stockholm.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition opens Friday, 25 August 2017, at 6 pm, in the foyer of Hallgr\u00edmskirkja. Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALPHA &amp; OMEGA Swedish artists Fredrik S\u00f6derberg and Christine \u00d6dlund exhibit in the foyer of Hallgrimskirkja The Friends of the Arts Society of Hallgr\u00edmskirkja would like<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3759,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
