EGGERT PÉTURSSON
Petursson´s (b. 1956) sole subject is the Icelandic flora. Conceptual rather than decorative, his unique paintings of the minute tundra flowers of Iceland’s seemingly barren landscape reveal, with dizzying effect, the universe within. Abstract at a distance, at close inspection his canvases are hyper-realistic—an infinite regression of painstaking brush detail creating each petal, stem, and leaf.
