Loji Höskuldsson (IS)
In his work, Loji Höskuldsson explores new and traditional methods of embroidery, a technique he inherited from his mother who is a professional seamstress and embroidery expert. His main thematic interest lies in still lifes, with a focus on everyday objects and the exploration of subtle, poetic situations within domestic settings. Showing a unique blend of nostalgia, irony and sincerity, Höskuldsson’s works are humorous and playful, elevating the more tedious aspects of sewing and craftwork to a place of joy and personal connection.
Loji Höskuldsson (b. 1987, Reykjavík; IS) is a multi-disciplinary artist, musician and writer living and working in Reykjavík, Iceland. Recent solo exhibitions include: Safnasafnið (2021; IS) Ásmundarsalur (2019; IS), and Hverfisgallerí (2019, IS). In addition to his fine art practice, Loji has published the book Ástarbréf til Sigvalda and broadcast two radio plays.
