Summary
Hreinn Friðfinnsson's work is celebrated for both its lyricism and its stark poetry, which transcends the often-commonplace subjects and materials he uses to create his pieces. He has sometimes been compared to artists working in Conceptual and Romantic Conceptual modes. Indeed, his practice shows a certain kinship with these movements; for example, it is grounded in the dematerialization of art and has strong links to landscape and natural phenomena. Exhibition: Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève, Switzerland (24.05. - 25.08.2019) / KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, Germany (28.09.2019 - 05.01.2020).
