Delving into Arngunnur\u2019s personal and artistic journey following her relocation to Hawaii, the exhibition presents new and recent paintings that respond to the complex interplay of nature, history, and human settlement. We would also like to note that this will be the last day to see the exhibition before it closes.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do the exhibited works shed light on the natural beauty of Hawaii, but also the questions that arise when we disturb a land with a rich history, where natural forces keep reminding us of their power. There, Arngunnur and her husband are making their home, in a beautiful place where nature gradually gives way to manmade buildings, and the artworks are thus deeply intertwined with the land\u2019s layered history. The exhibition serves as both a personal reflection and a broader commentary on the ongoing transformation of landscape, inviting viewers to consider their own relationship with place and history.<\/p>\n<p><em>Arngunnur \u00ddr (b. 1962) graduated with a BFA in painting from the San Fransisco Art Institute in 1986. She later attended studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 1989 to 1990, going on to complete her MFA in painting at Mills College, Oakland, California, in 1992. She has received various awards and recognition for her art, for example a grant from The Svavar Gu\u00f0nason and \u00c1sta Eir\u00edksd\u00f3ttir Art Award and from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. Her works have been exhibited in Iceland, Europe and the United States and can be found in the collection of public museums, various institutions and private collectors, both in Iceland and abroad.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Free entry \u2013 everyone welcome.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday January 19th at 2 p.m., we welcome you to an artist talk with\u00a0Arngunnur \u00ddr\u00a0who will speak about her work at the exhibition\u00a0Kahalii that has been on view at the museum since early November.
