                        Much 
                          ongoing here in the small Candler NC studio (check the 
                           Blackened 
                          section for fresh installations) as I would like to 
                          thank my beautiful wife, friends and family for their 
                          kind assistance and presence during this monumental 
                          first step into the local Art scene here in the Asheville 
                          area. Moreover would I like to thank the many visitors 
                          who showed their support and enthusiasm; ensuring me 
                          that the path is indeed right as I trudge on creatively. 
                          You Rock people...!m!
                        Lastly, 
                          I would like to thank the organizers (find them here) 
                          for their wonderful work, resilience and devotion to 
                          all things arty and crafty. I'll be sure to attend the 
                          Dark Market with alarming regularity... See you soon 
                          enough.

                        And 
                          several new pieces added; in fact a fresh total of 7 
                          as indulgence into Art theory, history and philosophy 
                          a deeper sense of perception and that of the road ahead.

                        Poetry and sketches
                        For 
                          those who care to read a little and/or glimpse the path 
                          ahead; tick over to the poetry 
                          section of this growing domain and feast your eyes upon 
                          some lyrical obscurity pertaining to 
                          RÁN's incoming album (whenever it's ready)... 
                          More artwork in the pipes - some nearly completed - 
                          do check out a fresh addition of sketches 
                          heralding a rather unwieldy triptych dubbed "Roots"; 
                          long in the waiting and to be offered to any willing 
                          customer upon completion...

                        Another glimpse from 
                          the small studio... 
                        
                        A 
                          little tight for space, but comfy and cozy; just the 
                          way I like it... Much to do and more coming up... In 
                          the meantime: Do check the links

                          her hand; the first canvas completed at the early age 
                          of 2 and now knee deep in creative design; quite the 
                          entreprenour and talented as well... Enjoy her works:

                        I 
                          am pleased to announce my partnership with the fine 
                          people at Apollo Art Iceland, who will handle any of 
                          my sales in the homeland henceforth...
                        The 
                          selection is modest to begin with, but rest assured 
                          that there will be fresh pieces appearing there at any 
                          given time as I carefully set my aims at to include 
                          U.S. galleries in the near future.
                        As 
                          for Apollo Art: Look no further than the image below, 
                          or bravely click a purposefully and somewhat permanently 
                          placed banner on the right side of this column. Enjoy...

                        A 
                          small update; a little late perhaps as the intrepid 
                          visitor is urged lay his visors upon the POETRY 
                          section of this ever growing and multifarious webdomain... 
                          With much going on and hours on end; spent in the studio 
                          each day, I dare promise more updates and news shortly... 
                          In the meantime: Have a wonderful day and stay creative; 
                          in your own particular manner of course...

                          the small NC studio 
                        
                        The 
                          space fits the size as I work arduously on completing 
                          a long overdue assignment alongside other pieces of 
                          similar weight and girth... It shall be the last of 
                          its kind as the sketchbook awaits attention with greater 
                          projects ahead and some interesting news that I look 
                          forward to announcing when the time is right...
                        In

                        Announcing Poetry 
                        
                        Having 
                          promised updates and fixes; not to ignore Art and Music 
                          (incoming); we see the first of many tasks completed 
                          as I faithfully present the very new POETRY 
                          section of this website... In the very least - and to 
                          any visitor who lacks abilities in the noble language 
                          of Icelandic - I'd highly recommend Google Translate 
                          as the results can be quite entertaining...

                    Never 
                      known to sit still for long; another adventure and nearly 
                      18 months to date my ultimate journey to new grounds; having 
                      left the homeland for the taste of the New World amidst 
                      turning tides of pandemics, war and emerging recession...
                    The 
                      show must go on and let there be art, music and more art 
                      as the new studio beckons (small as it is for the time being) 
                      and the energies, wild life and nature serves as muse to 
                      the mind... So much to do and plenty of time to do it with, 
                      but - first - the new website address: NEKRONART.COM

                    Some 
                      apologies as quirks abound whereas the bulk of the website 
                      is carefully (and somewhat carelessly) moved to the new 
                      location, but all will function ere the end...
                    To 
                      serve curiosity; there is much going on and even more to 
                      be revealed as time passes... Allow the artist to promise 
                      regular updates and artwork as the engine is set at "full 
                      speed ahead..."

                    Exhibitions

                      ...And many thanks to those who came, saw and - not to mention 
                      - either purchased some truly unique art, or began a collaboration 
                      to produce fresh series and the breaking of boundaries yet 
                      again... Truly special thanks to the wonderful people at 
                      SÍM for the kind assistance and hospitality; and 
                      even more exclamations of gratitude to the wonderful staff 
                      at Litir og Föndur for the service, tolerance and fair 
                      prices. The artist salutes you all !!!
                    That 
                      said, expect some fresh artwork to appear soon enough as 
                      the studio is cluttered with 'pieces-in-the-making'; some 
                      in colour, others not so much... So much to do.
                    ...And 
                      a something special has begun to appear under the BLACKENED 
                      banner of the Cryptogenic series; a something to be discovered 
                      by the lucky few as time passes under the lessening winter 
                      sun here in the cold, darkening north.

                    SÍM 
                      exhibition closing down
                    Location: 
                      Hafnarstræti 16, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland
                    
                    
                    The 
                      closing date is indeed set on the 24th of October. Open 
                      every day between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and a last chance to 
                      see some of these works for a while.
                     
                     
                    Massive 
                      updates: Introducing much of the Blackened/Cryptogenic series
                    With 
                      the final week of the exhibition at the SÍM Gallery 
                      upon us (see below for details); there has been some urgency 
                      to add the numerous additions to the Blackened series (Sortnun) 
                      to this interweb domain...
                    Not 
                      entirely complete; the BLACKENED page does however show 
                      the mainstay of the series (in variable quality with apologies) 
                      and more shall certainly be added as photographs emerge.
                    Another 
                      edition here and at this time, would be the SALES section 
                      where most unsold works will appear and remain until they 
                      are - well... - sold. Feel free to head to the contact section 
                      if you see something you like. Requests/inquiries will be 
                      met with all what haste the artist possesses.
                    ...And 
                      I'd like to point the visitor to the 'F' icon - on the left 
                      of this text - as well as the link to the "Arkiv.is" 
                      artist collect which hosts some of my work along with some 
                      detailed explanation and would-be art theory that underscores 
                      what lies before us.
                    Enjoy 
                      the works...

                    Didrik/Nekron
                     
                     
                    Exhibition 
                      at the SÍM gallery - Hafnarstræti 16, Rvk
                    Torg/Listamessa 
                      Art event behind us (many thanks to the hundreds of intrepid 
                      visitors and the outstanding SÍM staff who accomplished 
                      the seemingly unachievable); all focus remains on the current 
                      event at Hafnarstræti 16, Reykjavík, where 
                      21 pieces of the fast growing series can be seen.
                    Expect 
                      a full update to this website soon (as I intend to include 
                      the vast amount of works that have been created in the last 
                      year or so). In the meantime, enjoy some images and explanations 
                      at the following address (tap for English in the top corner):

                    ...And 
                      - of course - a sample image of Kali (one of the Gorgon 
                      series) that now hangs at the show room mentioned above:
                    
                     
                    
                     
                    October 
                      exhibitions and new series
                    Having 
                      begun a newfound direction in Art: it is time to declare 
                      the Cryptogenic style; in a series I commonly refer to as 
                      Blackened ("Sortnun" in Icelandic). This does 
                      not prevent further indulgence and work in the more 'colourful' 
                      works of figurative fantasy and exploration of the Norse 
                      heritage (plenty more coming there I assure you), but let 
                      it be known that the glue (so to speak) is 'constructivism' 
                      as I have found a deep, personal connection to the constructivist 
                      works of the early to mid last century.
                    Suffice 
                      to say - for the time being - I shall focus on developing 
                      "Black on Black" further and would invite anyone 
                      in Iceland to join me at two exhibitions launched simultaneously. 
                      It's madness, but it's Art !!!

                    SERIES 
                      updated
                    Having 
                      had the benefit of sound advice; the leap has been taken 
                      to augment the growing selection of Norse Art with links 
                      to information and background to the many stories and characters 
                      depicted therein. Of course, Wikipedia can only offer so 
                      much and the visitor is encouraged to quest further to gain 
                      proper insights in to the splendid realm of Norse lore and 
                      Sagas.

                    More series 
                      to come...
                    Plenty 
                      in the works here and the artist quite ecstatic to announce 
                      the birth of several new series and artforms here in the 
                      studio; to somewhat herald a great change that is about 
                      to befall... All very good and more news as events warrant, 
                      but I advice any viewer to head over to the Series section 
                      of this website to glimpse the first of three in the 'Sortnun/Blackened' 
                      series; much more incoming as the next two are indeed finished 
                      and ready for photography...
