Þorvaldur Jónsson: Hringiða / Vortex

In the exhibition Hringiðu, Þorvalur continues his playful ways with his stories on canvas. The red thread of the exhibition is time, time that is always on the move and we are swept up in circles with the hands of the clock. In the paintings you can see several characters who are the main roles; the cat, the guy, the chicken, the egg, the pig, the woman and the house. We watch them travel through the vortex of time, as they grow older and face life's challenges, but humor is never far away.

Þorvaldur Jónsson (b.1984) graduated from the Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2009 and has since been active in exhibitions in Iceland and abroad, in Germany, China and Turkey. His works have been exhibited in Reyjavík Art Museum, Kjarvalstaðir, Gerðarsafn and Hafnarborg, among others. Þorvaldur is one of the founders of Gallery Port on Laugavegur.
