Artist: Anna Jóelsdóttir

While exploring after dinner last night, the paintings of Icelandic artist Anna Jóelsdóttir caught our eyes. A few of her works are on display at Zg gallery – located under the brown line tracks at Chicago St. They don’t reproduce as well on screen, but the combination of detail and sparseness was appealing to me. This is a detail from a journal in which she draws one panel daily before flipping the page. These drawings then become the basis for larger paintings. More works at the zggallery.com.
