Svavar Gudnason, 1919 - 1988
His graphics works in Helhesten are his only attempts to work with graphics according to Thor Vilhjįlmssons biography from 1992 on Svavar p. 23.
Svavar Gudnason was born on Iceland, lived and worked during Worldwar 2. in
Copenhagen.
In reality Svavar Gudnason has himself written, expressed the basic mood which
is shown in his art. You can talk about pictures with strong sensation of
distance, and the strenght of the colours create a lyrical dramatic excitment.
It feels like the conflict between a working intellect and somthinng romantic
ecstatic. The result i neither iscold intellectualism or hot romance, but
pictures you can look on as paintings. You don't need to put a label on, but
please yourself with the values, which reaches us in all fine art through the
fredom of the colours and their expression. If you want to put a label on this,
what may be necessary to make out the various artistic expressions, it's
ofcourse abstract art.
