A week ago I went to my home town of Kirkjubæjarklaustur to work on this piece that's been on the drawing board og YottaZetta Art Collaboration for years. Finally the pieces fell into place and we were able to finish the first and most important part of the piece, painting this little house gold. The house is basically a roof covering the intake of a hydro-electric power plant that was built by my great-grandfather and others aprox. 100 years ago. We still have a lot of work to do untill the piece is fully finished but it feels good to have finally been able to make this first step. I'll set up a blog post asap. that goes further into the concept behind the work and the history we are building on. Until then enjoy these cheeky making of photos feat. my grandfather who we didn't ask to help us out, he just came along and started painting 😂 The man is 83 years old but since retiring he is unstoppable in any kind of renovation work 💛 #conceptualart #makingof #kirkjubæjarklaustur #icelandicart #icelandicartist #yottazetta

Tomorrow is menningarnótt and I have a few things planned for the day... Pic 1: I am going to draw all day in @korkagalleri . All of the pictures made tomorrow (and a few extra sketches) will be for sale for a pay-what-you-want donation to my Georgia travel fund. Pic 2&3: My work 'Konur spá í spilin' will be on display in a group exhibition in Ránargata 3 curated by @gigjajohns . That one is open till 8pm, I really look forward to hecking it out after I finish my session in Korka. #visualart #icelandicart #icelandicartist #fineart #drawing #gouche
