Sunday, 13th September at 2 p.m. will Aðalsteinn Ingólfsson, Art historian, leading visitors around the exhibition Aurora Borealis, which is currently on show at Hafnarborg, and discuss the work of Frost Fjalarr in the context of the artist's particular career and his position in Icelandic art.

The exhibition features a selection of works by Frost, who worked on his art in solitude for decades. Frosti, formerly Jakob Jónsson, had a long career spanning more than half a century. However, after an active period of exhibitions in the 1970s and 1980s, he withdrew and took part in neither exhibitions nor was he active in public life or within the art community. Throughout his long career, his visual language was characterised by a keen sense of form, disciplined composition and a strong sense of colour.
The curator is Ásdís Spanó.

Frosti Fjalar (1936-2026) studied fine art in Copenhagen, first at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek and later at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, in addition to which he graduated in civil engineering from KTH in Stockholm. After his last exhibition in 1991, he disappeared from the public eye but continued to create with singular determination. He left behind some six thousand watercolours and around eight hundred paintings.

Free admission – all are welcome.
