Otherworld

The Icelandic / Austrian painter Linda Steinthórsdóttir takes you into the Otherworld of Iceland. Her works in spatula technique are abstract and minimalist. In the change of light and perspective, the relief-like structures begin to take on a life of their own, subject to constant transformation. Natural materials such as the ash of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, which paralyzed Europe for days in 2010, are found in the almost monochrome works and stand for transience, change and sustainability.

Here Steinthórsdóttir revels in deep black, virginal white, and the charismatic colors of the aurora borealis. She skillfully transforms the natural beauty into the artistic beauty that already fascinated Immanuel Kant and Theodor W. Adorno. Her images just invite contemplation and have the greatest relevance for private art collectors and corporate collections. 

BURN-IN has represented the artist since December 2020 and is currently planning a project in Iceland in 2021.
