MURMUR


LISTAMENN GALLERY, SKÚLAGATA 32, REYKJAVIK. Feb 20th- March 20th, 2021 – 


In his solo exhibition MURMUR, Guðjón Ketilsson displays new drawings on paper and one sculpture. The title of the exhibition refers to the great mass of words that the artist, not writes but draws in his works in an acoustic sense. The words choose to hug each other, twist and turn in all directions and thus start a conversation with each other so that it becomes a murmur, a pictorial sound wall. Each word is connected to another but at the same time is a piece in a visual pattern as well as an independent form.
