Anna Story<\/b><\/a>\u00a0was born in\u00a0<\/span>\u015awidnica, Poland, in 1984<\/span>, she is a graduate of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wroc\u0142aw.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

”I use my pencils (or ink) to translate emotions and mental states onto the page. The images I create are fed by an endless curiosity of human behaviour and its conditioning.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Aleksandra Malczewska<\/b><\/a>, born in Warsaw in 1989, attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and \u0141\u00f3d\u017a.<\/p>\n

She is particularly intrigued by people and their quirks, which are transferred on paper with the use of techniques such as pencil and crayons or ink.<\/p>\n

Helga P\u00e1ley\u00a0<\/b><\/a>\u00a0born in 1987 in Reykjavik,\u00a0<\/span>graduated with a BA in Fine Art from the Iceland Academy of the Arts 2011 and later studied motion creation from Hyper Island in Stockholm 2018.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI like to draw thinks that makes me laugh, if it\u2019s not funny it has to satisfy my eye in some eccentric way\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Korkimon<\/b><\/a> is a visual artist born in 1995 in Reykjavik, she graduated from Sarah Lawrence College (NY) in 2017. <\/span><\/p>\n

In a world overloaded with information, she eagerly wanders and gallops from one particularly interesting hole to the next, with her best plan: no plan. The denouement always ripe with ambiguity and accidental meanings, viscerally fleshy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yyngrii<\/b><\/a>, \u00a0born in Reykjav\u00edk in 1991, \u00a0has been publicly active in Iceland and abroad for half of her life through various solo and group exhibitions as well as live performances. <\/span><\/p>\n

In her work she celebrates her own connection with nature and other dimensions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the work of these five artists stretches across different mediums and approaches, we traced a leitmotif within the exhibition which strongly resonated with us, hidden within strong lines and powerful images that reveal the beauty of imperfection, often with irony and humor, sometimes leading to deeper discoveries.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are proud to see all these talents’ works side by side in our very first show, and hope to see many of you on the 14<\/span>th<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are currently planning the year to come and have an ongoing call for artists. Note that the type of work is not limited to any medium as long as it falls under the requirements of our curation committee. Application can be sent to julie@reykjavikroasters.is<\/a> with example of work, bio and artists intention.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1947″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” css=”.vc_custom_1558037128629{margin-right: 5px !important;margin-left: 5px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n\n\t\t
