In this exhibition, the artists bring together their works in the form of paintings, photographs, sculptures, and installations in a multilayered dialogue about vulnerability, material, and boundaries. Solveig Edda works with oil painting, sculpture, and installation, while Ólöf Dómhildur presents photographic works made with ink in the spirit of hand-painting, sculptures, and installations, with photographs taken in the Westfjords and North Iceland. The works explore the relationship between surface and depth, matter, dissolution and transformation, the visible and what lies beneath.

The exhibition opens with a performance in which water, light, and movement influence the audience’s experience of the surface. In the performance, the artists explore boundaries—where the moment between breath and stillness becomes a symbol of existence.

Both artists grew up in Reykjavík but moved to Ísafjörður in adulthood, where they work in the arts alongside other professions. Their path now leads them northward to present the results of the past two years.

Blik unites two decades of artistic experience from Ólöf and Solveig. Each has specialized in her own medium—Ólöf in photography and Solveig in painting—but in their collaborative works in Blik, these media become part of an open conversation where the dialogue between surface and what lies beneath takes center stage. What emotions does the viewer experience? How do we perceive the surface? Is the focus on what lies beneath, or on that delicate line between what is hidden and what is seen?
