Sigga Björg Sigurðardóttir
Sigga Björg Sigurðardóttir (born in Reykjavík, Iceland 1977) is a visual
artist that lives and works in Reykjavík, Iceland. She works primarily
with drawing and creates installations that consist of works on paper,
walldrawings, animation and sculpture. Her method of relentless drawing
often reveals human behaviour and emotion in their most primitive and
wild form, and explores the sometimes quite vague boundaries between
human and beast.
Sigga received an MFA from the Glasgow School of Art in 2004, and since
then she has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions around the
world. Solo exhibitions include Kling and Bang Gallerí, Reykjavík,
Yancey Richardson Gallery, NY, Clark Galerie, Montréal , and Galerie
Adler, Frankfurt, with selected group exhibitions including, Gothenburg
Art Museum, Sweden, The Centre For Contemporary Art, Glasgow, National
Galleries of Scotland , Edinburgh and Reykjavík Art Museum. Her work is
in international collections including the Zabludowicz Art Trust,
London, Nordiska Akvarellmuseet Kunsthaus Zurich, Switzerland and
Reykjavík Art Museum.
