Hjörleifur Halldórsson | Diploma exhibition IMPERMANENCE

Hjörleifur Halldórsson | Diploma exhibition IMPERMANENCE Opening: June, 12 at 18:00Duration of exhibition: June, 12-15, 12:00 – 19:00 Impermanence Everything will eventually fade away.

What comes next will reveal itself in due time. My paintings are a form of narration of what usually becomesMore

This seems to be our techno-destiny. InsideMore
