Gamli Daði eða Nýi Daði.
Gamli Daði byrjaði að sýna málverk sem úngur maður um 1980 og tilheyrði list hreyfingu sem var kölluð Nýja málverkið og einkenntist af exprexoniskum stíl og uppbroti á listheiminum; uppbroti gegn hópi listamanna sem var búin að tileinka sér ljósmyndir, sviðsetningar, leikþáttunga og videotækni í hvítum sýningarsölum.
Nýi Daði er upprennandi eldri borgari og Yogi sem er að mála myndir sem hafa einhverskonar innra andlegt jafnvægi og jákvæðan boðskap án þess að vera minimalísk eða abstrakt. Þeir eru alltaf að reyna að sættast hver við annan „Nýji og gamli“ og sættast við botnlausa vitleysu listheimsins.
Ég var með eitthvað sem ég kallaði; yfirlitssýningu í Júli hér á Feisbook síðunni.
Old Daði vs. New Daði
The old version of the artist began to show his paintings about year 1980 and belonged to an art movement called New expressionist art around 1980, characterized by exprexonic style and breakthrough in the art world; a break against main streem of artists who had used photographs, performas and video technology in white showrooms.
New Daði is an upcomming senior citizen and Yogi whos paintings are some kind of inner spiritual balance and positive message; without being minimal or abstract. They are always trying to reconcile each other with “New and Old persona” and reconcile to the bottomless nonsense of the art world.

Lives and work as an artist in Reykjavik.
Alter ego DADILISTO
I was born in Reykjavik: May 12, 1954. Grow up Kópavogur close to Reykavik, which was mostly built by refugees, who were not allocated land in Reykjavík for political reasons. Good time for children to play in half builded houses, or go to a small shelter and listen to the communist.
When I was 12 y.o. I decided to become a painter and, as my father resisted, it would not turn back.
After I have learnd Carpentry to make my father happy, I went to The school of Arts and Crafts, and ended up learning experimental art and new art media, I could take all the risks, I had lernd very practical profession to be able to make a living. I did not get started with creating so called “New media”, but began do painting with the good old oil colours. I was a part of movement in the eighties called “New Painting”. I then studied in Amsterdam for a year, mostly of graphic printing, but that time was a great gift for me, since I started working as a professional and have done so mostly since 1983.
I’ve been very lucky! I was one of the first to do, so called “New Panting” in Iceland, this promotion drew attention and I started selling my art works and could make a living in a decent life, all the time until the lucky famous “collapse” of the banks in Ieland, but at that time people mostly have to use their money in pay-as-you-go debt created by our economic system in Iceland, probably one of the worst in the world.
After that crash, I have been doing some extra work: teaching, city walk with tourist and so on, I have alsow been having pepole visiting my studio with some home-made food. But also received a grants.gov support for big exhibition in Art museum: Kjarvalsadir in 2011. This period has been nice, always good to get new challenges especially if one manages to take advantage of them. I recently had an exhibition of Mokka Kaffi in Reykjavik hat was successful.
I have been doing Sahajayoga for many years and have volunteered to teach and introduce.
