SÍM

Paul Lassus, Chair of the Board of Association Alvar Aalto en France and Ásdís Ólafsdóttir, Director of Maison Louis Carré, have the pleasure of inviting you to the vernissage-cocktail of the exhibition "Inner and Outer Landscapes" by Alvar Gullichsen & Arngunnur Ýr, Saturday 23 September 2023 5-8pm.

Maison Louis Carré's autumn exhibition will be dedicated to two Nordic painters: Arngunnur Ýr from Iceland and Alvar Gullichsen from Finland. Both of these artists create large works painted in bold colors that immediately appeal strongly and challengingly to the viewer.

Both Arngunnur Ýr and Alvar Gullichsen work with a kind of a landscape, she with glaciers and vegetation, he with an imaginary urban landscape that reflects internal movements and conditions. Both use references to different cultural areas and their own experiences. The human figure is absent, yet the one who creates patterns and structures, as well as being affected by climate change. These excellent and original painters deal with our environment, real or imaginary, inside and outside us.
