Guðrún Nielsen

Um listamanninn

Gudrun aligns herself with a modernist based formalism with minimalist overtones in her large scale work. Her geom. sculptures are mixed media and reflect elements of balance and movement. Drawn to clear and harmonious proportions, as well as cultures, elements of her practice echo Japanese attitudes to mass and shape.
