Drawings
In January 1986 Kristján Gudmundsson had his first solo exhibition at Galerie van Gelder. Kristján Gudmundsson has been creating conceptual art for over forty years and during this period has given a remarkable extension to the concept of drawing. He sees a drawing a priori before the writing and drawing material has been put to use. He usually gives it the form of a sculpture. With the drawing material itself, a drawing is made through a logical arrangement, a concept or simple action.
In January 1986 Kristján Gudmundsson had his first solo show in Galerie Van Gelder. He is one of the artists together with Hreinn Fridfinnsson and Sigurdur Gudmundsson who is part of a first generation of Icelandic artists that was introduced to a wider audience in Amsterdam in the mid-eighties. Galerie van Gelder was the first gallery in Europe that introduced this generation specifically to the Northern countries by showing their works in art fairs like the Stockholm Art Fair, Smart Show and later on at the Basel Art Fair.
