Guðmundur Thoroddsen
ABOUT
Guðmundur Thoroddsen (b. 1980, Iceland) lives and works in Reykjavík, Iceland. His paintings, ceramics, and works on paper question our glorification of male power, and display a humorous vision of contemporary masculinity in ideological disarray. In his narrative yet sporadically drawn two-dimensional works, ambiguously ancient bearded figures compete in sports, cavort aimlessly, or while away the time in a pre-apocalyptic bacchanal of men striving to capture the dying days of male supremacy. Ungainly ceramics are titled as trophies awarded for futile victories, or have names like “Double Naughty Boy” and appendages suggesting body parts. Well known for his previous wooden sculptures, he has used a variety of materials including ink, collage, carved and painted wood, marble, excrement, ceramic, and gold leaf, all with the longtime theme of dislodging the victorious and heroic with the profane.
