Kristján Davíðsson - The Artist of the Year at Friends of the Printmakers Association 2009
Kristján Davíðsson is the artist of the year at the friends of the association. He was born 1917 in Reykjavik, Iceland and lives there as well. Kristján Davíðsson’s abstract paintings give the impression of having developed according to the laws of nature. In his latest works, his colours have been reduced to earthy brown, white and a luminous blue. His poetic paintings, which display an exquisite sense of composition, contain a kind of twiggy figures which float over the canvas, magical, like fire flies in the night. The lithograph displays time and speed and printed on 170 g Hahnemuhle paper size 20x33,5 cm.
