Friðfinnsson's work is a poetic and philosophical exploration into every-day human experience where time and coincidence play an important role. Based on works in Reykjavík Art Museum‘s collection, the exhibition reflects his manifold attempts to handle transience and capture infinity in time and space.

 

The artist Hreinn Friðfinnsson had a long and successful career, from the 1970s to the present day, but he died earlier this year. Hreinn always lived in the Netherlands and showed his works in an international context as well as holding numerous exhibitions in his native Iceland. He made, among other things, photographic works, text works, bas-reliefs and installations from found materials. In his artistic creation, he referred to ideas about man's position in relation to time, eternity and the universe. With an everyday, poetic and humane approach, these grand subjects became heartfelt and haunting reflections. The exhibition From Time to Time is based exclusively on Hreinn's works in the museum's collection and spans his entire career. With it, Reykjavík Art Museum commemorates one of the most beloved artists of our time, who had an immeasurable influence with his works and personality. Not least, he was a great inspiration to younger generations of artists, and hopefully his works will continue to inspire people in their multifaceted simplicity.

 

Curator: Markús Þór Andrésson
