Author Description

Hreinn Friðfinnsson's work is celebrated for both its lyricism and its stark poetry, which transcends the often-commonplace subjects and materials he uses to create his pieces. He has sometimes been compared to artists working in Conceptual and Romantic Conceptual modes. Indeed, his practice shows a certain kinship with these movements; for example, it is grounded in the dematerialization of art and has strong links to landscape and natural phenomena.
