Áslaug Íris Katrín Friðjónsdóttir (IS)
Áslaug Íris Katrín Friðjónsdóttir’s work is characterised by a rich sense of materiality. Friðjónsdóttir works primarily with abstract imagery, and looks for meanings in varied material choices and methods. Previous bodies of work have included drawings produced in petrified wood surfaces and sculptural paintings created by bringing stones into contact with other painterly materials. The artist’s abstract formal language is very connected to both the ground we walk on, as well as the space and planets surrounding us, creating a dialogue between micro and macro scale.
Áslaug Íris Katrín Friðjónsdóttir (b. 1981, Reykjavík; IS) lives and works in Reykjavík, Iceland. Friðjónsdóttir’s work has been the subject of solo and group exhibitions across Europe, The United States and Iceland. Recent exhibitions include: BERG Contemporary (Reykjavík; IS), Reykjavík Art Museum Ásmundarsafn (Reykjavík; IS), Gerðarsafn Kópavogur Art Museum (Kópavogur; IS). Works by the artist are also held in the collections of several public art museums in Iceland.
