Oddrún shows works on canvas created using mixed media, collage and print, and painting in various forms.
Kristbergur is exhibiting works on paper. They are also created using mixed media, cut, printed and painted.
Poetry is part of the exhibition, but Kristbergur has been writing haikus. Images are created based on them, and haikus are written based on the images, in a collaboration between the siblings.
They met earlier this summer to compare notes and remarked that their work for this exhibition was a bit like two sides of the same coin.
Kristbergur studied at the Iceland Academy of the Arts from 1979 to 1985 and at the Royal Academy in Amsterdam from 1985 to 1988.

He has published books of his work and one poetry collection. He has received an artist's grant five times.
