HUMAN / Maður. A solo show at Gallery Þula in the Marshall House in Reykjavik. Opening on September 27, 2025.

HUMAN / MAÐUR at Þula marks a milestone. It is Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir’s first solo exhibition in Iceland in almost a decade, coinciding with her 70th birthday and the publication of a new book surveying her life’s work under the same title, by KIND Publishing. The exhibition gathers sculptures that reflect her lifelong exploration of the human figure as a vessel of meaning, and as a mirror for each of us. Presenting companions encountered in the everyday, inviting us to stop, to reflect, and to recognize ourselves and one another in their quiet, enduring presence. They remind us that art is not apart from life but an integral and essential part of it.
