Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson
Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson is an visual, sound and performance artist born in Akureyri, Iceland in 1977. He studied Sonology at the Royal Conservatory
Den Haag, Holland in 1997 to 1998, and received MFA at Fachochshcule
fur bilende kunst Hannover, Germany in 2004.
Sigmarsson exhibits his paintings & drawings internationally but is probably
most known for his energetic performances at a wide array of venues. His
approach is that of the trembling artist, struggling to make sense and
direction out of a creative impulse. Regardless of the medium, there is a
continuous search for order and chaos throughout his body of work. With
his series of drawings Sigmarsson distorts the normal, daily life by
drawing very common objects in an abstract way. For some time he has
been releasing solo recordings with albums on Trente Oiseaux, ERS, Helen
Scarsdale, Fire Inc., Hanson Records, Bawag Contemporary Vienna, Korm
Plastics, Bottrop Boy, Ultra Eczema and De Player.
