Kristín Morthens (IS)

Kristín Morthens' paintings deal with boundaries, intimacy and separation through narratives of limb-like figures in abstract spaces. These subjects often perform a gesture of almost-touching, reaching out or pulling in, either toward themselves or between each other. The focus of physicality is repeated through layering techniques using materials such as oil, spray paint and dry pastels. The contrasting surfaces highlight the notions of boundaries and materialism.

Kristín Morthens (b.1992) graduated with a BFA in painting from OCAD University, Toronto, 2018. Her works have been exhibited in Montreal, Toronto, Stuttgart, Malmö, Reykjavík and Copenhagen. Her most recent solo exhibitions include Gegnumtrekkur at Þula (2021) and Að snerta uppsprettu at Listval (2022). Kristín lives and works in Reykjavík.
