Icelandic artist Thordis Adalsteinsdottir is featured at Reykjavík Art Museum’s group show “Raw Power”

“Raw Power” presents Icelandic pop art master Erró and 15 selected Icelandic contemporary artists’ works, Thordis Adalsteinsdottir also participated to pay tribute to Erró and unveil Erró influence on Icelandic art. Both Erró and Thordis were extensively recognized in foreign countries; the master had lived in France and Spain, and Thordis has established her artistic career in New York. Thordis mentioned there’s a lot of New York in her painting. Yet, people in Chelsea talked about how there's Icelandic elements in the works .

Where and how Erró’s and Thordis Adalsteinsdottir’s works intersect? Birgir Snæbjörn Birgisson, the curator of “Raw Power”, mentioned Erró’s works alongside his fellow artists in the exhibition, their practice, attitudes, and solid presence are just as Jeanettte Winterson’s words about poetry – a finding place, not a hiding place, and truly and duly have the raw power required.
