This charming little duck pond actually exists in the middle of downtown Reykjavik. In the summer it's a great place to feed the ducks, and in the winter it provides an outdoor ice skating rink.Ágúst's linocuts are initially carved, printed and painted by the artist. We have taken a few of his finished works and made open edition giclee prints on paper. We have this one available as an original by Ágúst as well as an open edition print.
Ágúst Bjarnason lives and works in Reykjavik. He studied at the School of Art and Handicraft of Iceland and graduated from the department of graphics in 1986. At Stockholm University he studied mostly art history and at the University of Iceland, he took some courses in philosophy and medieval literature. He has illustrated books, designed covers and done some storyboard work for the cinema. His main subjects have been Reykjavík and surroundings, people and seamanship. He is best known for these charming linocuts. We have many available at the Listhus Gallery. Our website, www.listhusgallery.com, will be fully populated and functional soon, but you can see a few of them now. Just look under artists and click on Ágúst Bjarnason.
