ÚLFUR LOGASON
MAY GOD REWARD YOU
28.03.2026 – 16.08.2026
Gallery 09
Úlfur Logason (born 1997) studied painting at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf, Germany, graduating in 2024. He now lives and works in Berlin. This is his first solo exhibition in a public museum, though he has participated in exhibitions in Iceland and abroad, in Düsseldorf, New York and Paris, among other places.
In his works, Logason explores European art history, in particular the historical painting, and uses that to interpret his own environment and
present times. The title of the exhibition, May God Reward You, comes from a drawing by Francisco Goya of bulls attacking a busker and most likely killing him. Goya‘s works are among the starting points of the exhibition, particularly his paperwork, where stories of Spanish everyday life, cynical humor, strange allegories and shocking descriptions of warfare, murders, cannibalism, and devil worshipping all mix together. The watercolor paintings in the exhibition are Logason‘s attempt to combine diverse narratives from different directions together into one imagery.
