With explosive energy and painterly velocity, Les Crayons dives into Kruidriks’s signature “crayon” series, works that blur the boundaries between drawing and eruption, between color and motion. Each piece grows out of a fascination with tools, mark-making, and the elemental forces of nature: gravity, flow, eruption. As Fridriks herself notes, the “crayon” is both instrument and metaphor; a vehicle for painting as gesture, speed and change.
This catalogue captures the full breadth of the series, offering richly illustrated plates, contextual essays, and insight into the mind of one of Iceland’s most dynamic contemporary artists. Through swirling forms and blasting lines, Fridriks invites us to witness a world in motion, where color is energy, paper a launchpad, and the line itself a journey into the unknown.
