Rósa Gísladóttir is set to open a new exhibition on April 3rd, 2025, at the Icelandic Embassy in Oslo. The title of the exhibition is Form and Void / A Still Life Reimagined, and is organised by The Ambassador of Iceland, Högni Kristjánsson, and Ásgerður Magnúsdóttir in collaboration with the artist.

From the beginning of her career, Rósa Gísladóttir has worked with old traditions and methods, focusing on the laws of symmetry. She approaches each project from a contemporary perspective—one that is not rooted in nostalgia but rather seeks to highlight the fundamental morphology of forms and how their meanings have evolved throughout history.

Rósa Gísladóttir’s three-dimensional works explore the evolution of forms and their shifting meanings throughout history, incorporating modern materials and reflecting on the challenges of consumerism. While she has worked with various materials, she is best known for her plaster sculptures, which take on diverse shapes and sizes. Since the beginning of her career, she has frequently drawn artistic references from architecture and culture. Her work highlights the intrinsic value of still life as an art form, continually engaging with themes such as sustainable development, classicism, and spirituality.

In this particular exhibition, she intertwines her interests in consumerism, sustainable
development, architecture, and classicism.
