Ljós og skuggar
Í sálarlífinu hjá mörgum er að finna öfgar, þær geta tengst fortíðini og tilfinnigunum eða framtíðinni og egóinu, svo eru einnig margir sem eru í góðu jafnvægi sem betur fer fyrir mannlífið í heild.
Á Kjarvalssöðum er að opnar sýning í dag sem sýnir skugga hliðar listarinnar, sem verður áhugavert að skoða. Ég sýni hér á tvær myndir sem fjalla um þessa togstreitu sem oft hefur komið inn í listsköpun mína, ég hef þó reint að vera meira sólarmegin í lífinu seinni árin.
Light and shadow.
In many peoples soul of there are often some extremes, they can relate to the past and emotions, or the future and the ego, so there are also many who are well-balanced for the good of a whole society.
Kjarvalssadir is opening a show today that shows the shadow side of the art, which will be interesting to see. I’ll show on this blog two pictures on lives tragedy that have often, been motive in my artistic creation, but I’ve been motivating more sun in my art in recent years.

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.
