Happenstance
The exhibition's paintings tell a seamless story that invites the viewer to interpret it after their own heart. Much like the occurrences in poetry, sentences and alliteration come together in colors and forms that Guðmundur records on canvas with effortless brushstrokes and the sharp drawing of oil-sticks. The paintings are not calculated; they are fluid and impulsive, where one thing leads to another and ultimately come together in perfect balance. This playful approach by Guðmundur to painting yields an abstract experience that can be likened to nature, where indeterminate forms, colors, and textures are woven together, speaking directly to human emotions.
Hendingar
Málverk sýningarinnar segja áreynslulausa sögu sem býður áhorfanda að túlka hana eftir sínu eigin höfði. Líkt og hendingar ljóða koma saman setningar og stuðlar í litum og formum sem Guðmundur skráir á strigann með ómstríðum pensilstrokum og skarpri teikningu olíustiftisins. Myndirnar eru ekki útreiknaðar, þær eru flæðandi og hvatvísar, þar sem eitt leiðir af öðru og koma að lokum saman í fullkomnu jafnvægi. Þessi leikandi nálgun Guðmundar á málverkinu gefur af sér abstrakt upplifun sem má líkja við náttúruna þar sem ofið er saman óræðum formum, litum og áferð sem talar beint til mannlegra tilfinninga.
