Helena Margrét Jónsdóttir is a visual artist based in Reykjavík. She studied fine art at The Reykjavík School of Visual Arts, The Royal Academy of Art in Den Haag and graduated from The Iceland University of the Arts in 2019.
Her former solo shows “Ghost of another ghost” and “Liquida” were exhibited in Hverfisgallerí in Reykjavík and Plan X Gallery in Milan. She has also participated in group exhibitions such as “What it Seems—Reality on Canvas” in Kjarvalsstaðir, “Once Upon a Time in Mayfair” and CAN Art Fair in Ibiza.
Helena’s paintings express the mundane, the wireless and the digital. Her subjects are often imaginary, appetising, realistic and uncomfortable.
For her solo show in Ásmundarsalur the performance group Átta Fætur will have a performance on the 12th of november at 20.00 interpreting and bringing the visual language of Helena´s oil paintings to the stage under the direction of Hákon Örn Helgason.
