PALEBRIGTH BEAMDEEP / FÖLBJARTUR SKÆRDJÚPUR
Listval Gallery
29.08.-21.09.2024
The work of Ingunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir evolves around the manifestation of systems, their influence and how individuals produce and utilize them for their own benefit. The exhibition PALEBRIGHT BEAMDEEP is a colorful conversation between her woven paintings which are positioned systematically with the desired effect to trigger the viewer’s senses. The inherent duality of her work, the material and the essence, and the system and the sensory, form the main configurations within her artistic research, as she gestures towards the paradoxical, push pull, hues of human existence.
Colors have an element of magnetism, their effect and our understanding of them is equally individualistic, cultural and undoubtedly value laden. Where we sat across from each other in her studio, she told me how she selects and detects the colors and combinations. The correct selection induces a physical reaction in her, her mouth starts watering and she feels butterflies in her stomach.
