Karólína Lárusdóttir
Karólína Lárusdóttir Hon Ret RWS, Hon RE, HRNEAC (1944-2019) studied in the 1960’s in London and at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford. She is highly regarded in the UK and Iceland and her work is held in the British Museum, the collection of HM Queen Elizabeth II and the Icelandic National Collection. She is a painter and accomplished printmaker and her subject matter is rooted in her Icelandic upbringing. Her etchings contain a wry humour that enhances the surreal and timeless qualities she creates when dealing with her favourite topic, people.
Our exhibition, 'Karólína Lárusdóttir - The Good Gathering', from 1 - 30 March, has been three years in the making and was to have celebrated Karólína's 75th birthday. Sadly she passed away in February 2019, weeks prior to the exhibition opening, and never had the chance to experience pleasure from the multitude of warm words of affection and respect resulting from this special exhibition and accompanying book. Karólína's family wished us to continue with our exhibition as an appropriate send-off for a great artist and mother.
