We are excited to present Ragnar Kjartansson’s first foray to the medium of printmaking which resulted in two very unique series. Repent is a suite of twenty-five etchings of self-contained vignettes; poetic, comical, sometimes absurd scenes combining image and text. While Fire on the other hand is a series of seven large-scale woodcuts dealing with fire as a universal symbol for the paradox of destruction and creation—running like a red thread through Kjartansson’s work.
