Summary

Fascinated by water and its different states, Gudny Rosa Ingimarsdottir works with soluble materials, such as fiber and paper, now predominant in her practice. The artist produces drawings and paintings composed of several layers that she cuts, peels or hollows, spontaneously or after her production in order to approach the essence of creation. Each piece, unique, has its own geometric structure, between figuration and abstraction. The work is built slowly, sometimes for years; each line drawn or erased has an equal value, the remaining elements have the same strength as those deleted. (extract from the presentation of the Galerie Irène Laub) Gudny Rosa Ingimarsdottir was born in 1969 in Reykjavik (Iceland). She studied at the Icelandic College of Art and Crafts in Reyjavik in the early 1990s. She then continued her training at La Cambre (Brussels) to finish it at HISK-Hoger (Ghent). She lives and works in Brussels while remaining active on the Icelandic scene. Gudny Rosa presented a solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Iceland in 2008. In 2013, she received the Gudmunda S. Kristindottir Fellowship, awarded annually to an artist. Her works are among others in the collections of the FRAC Picardie d'Amiens in France, the National Center of Plastic Arts (Paris), the Province of Hainaut, the National Gallery of Iceland, and the Reykjavik Art Museum. Exhibition: l'ISELP, Brussels, Belgium (23.01.-21.03.2019).
Fascinée par l'eau et ses différents états, Gudny Rosa Ingimarsdottir travaille les matières solubles, telles que la fibre et le papier, désormais prépondérants dans sa pratique. L'artiste produit des dessins et des peintures composées de plusieurs couches qu'elle découpe, pèle ou creuse, spontanément ou après sa production afin de s'approcher de l'essence de la création. Chaque pièce, unique, possède sa propre structure géométrique, entre figuration et abstraction. L'oeuvre se contruit doucement, parfois pendant des années; chaque ligne tracée ou effacée a une valeur égale, les éléments restants possèdent la même force que ceux supprimés.
