Landscape Ultimate (March-April 2015)

Landscape Ultimate is our prior project focusing on exploring the possibilities of landscape painting. Why Landscape painting?

The landscape in Olafsfjordur is always changing, from day to night, from sunny to misty, to raining, to snowing, all could happen in 2 hours. If you are lucky enough, you can experience 4 seasons in one day. The weather variety makes painting landscape a bit difficult, also more interesting and challenging.

Through these three years, there were always 1 or 2 painters painting landscape monthly, but we never experience six artists working on the "landscape" together. We are looking forward to see the result. This time, we selected six young artists from different disciplines and from different culture, from western to eastern.

About the exhibition:

Lorraine Heller-Nicholas presents Lost an exhibition of animation and works on paper influenced by her experiences in Iceland. Lost is a romance where the characters are absorbed into a landscape which has become abstracted and the lines between past and present, reality and myth, black and white are indistinguishable.
