Hildur Asgeirsdottir Jonsson creates exquisite large-scale paintings on a loom, in a practice that blurs the boundaries between painting and weaving, fine art and craft. Born and raised in Iceland, Jonsson has spent the last 30 years in Cleveland, Ohio, where she has made increasingly ambitious work that toes the line between abstraction and representation, with deep connections to Iceland’s otherworldly landscapes. Bringing together Jonsson’s largest and most labor-intensive paintings yet, alongside smaller paintings, drawings, and watercolors, this will be the artist’s first West Coast exhibition and her first solo museum exhibition in nearly a decade.
