Gardar Eide Einarsson’s work is characterised by borrowing elements from art history, as well as from contemporary sources such as graffiti and skateboard culture. Central topics in Power Has a Fragrance<\/em> are authority and alienation.<\/p>\n

Drug lords and terrorists clash with police badges and truncheons in his formally and visually reduced, mostly black-and-white paintings, his meticulously constructed sculptures, photographs, videos, flags and flyers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The exhibition is a collaborative effort between Bonniers Konsthall, The Reykjavik Art Museum, The Astrup Fearnley Museum for Moderne Kunst in Oslo, Norway, and Kunsthalle Fridericianum in Kassel, Germany. At each venue, the show will take on a different design. At the Bonniers Konsthall\u2019s exhibition, the artist includes numerous new works, including a site-specific design. The project is accompanied by a catalogue, published by Astrup Fearnley. Curated by Gunnar B. Kvaran, Director of Astrup Fearnley, Haf\u00fe\u00f3r Yngvason, Director of Reykjavik Art Museum, and Sara Arrhenius, Director of Bonniers Konsthall.<\/p>\n
