Hansina Iversen (b.1966, Tórshavn; lives in Tórshavn) paints with multiple, interacting layers to build shifting organic forms and dynamic structures that vibrate with colour and light. Rannvá Kunoy(b.1975, Tórshavn; lives in London) questions the perceived hierarchy between paintings and their spatial environment, creating a beautiful, unsettling sense of motion reminiscent of the flickering on-screen effect made by vintage film projectors. Tóroddur Poulsen(b.1957, Tórshavn) is a self-taught poet, musician, and visual artist who lives in Copenhagen. His work combines graphic and literary expression to generate fresh—often satirical—reflections on capitalist society, nationalism, and so-called cultural norms. Hanni Bjartalíð(b.1968, Klaksvík; lives in Helsinki) works in a technically diverse range of drawings and reliefs, often chock-full of patterns and details—carpets, bowls, lamps, paintings, books—that serve as forms of contemporary memento mori. Randi Samsonsen(b.1977, Tórshavn; lives in Tórshavn) has worked with soft and round textile sculptures whose adorable clumsiness is so disarming that viewers often feel blindsided when they finally notice the artworks’ more ominous undertones. Alda Mohr Eyðunardóttir(b.1997, Tórshavn) lives in Copenhagen where she is pursuing an MFA at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Her work demonstrates a fascination with the tactile properties of materials often associated with Faroese culture and craftsmanship, especially wool. Jóhan Martin Christiansen(b.1987, Tórshavn; lives in Copenhagen) explores subjects such as how natural and man-made environments interact, queer body memory, the baroque, and pop music. He utilizes found objects as well as plaster, corrugated plastic, and scraps of building materials in his work. Steinprent(est. 1999, Tórshavn) is named after the Faroese word for stone lithography, Steinprent. Steinprent moved to Østrøm, a former factory building near the shipyard in central Tórshavn, in 2009 and has played a significant role in the evolution of contemporary Faroese art.
