1 ERRÓ Born in Iceland 1932 „I paint because painting is a private utopia“

2 He uses a lot of cartoon images and puts them in a new context. Erró is a postmodern artist and the first icelandic POP artist. He takes popular images out of their original context and starts by making a collage which he then paints with oil on canvas most of the time but he makes also many prints and even murals.

3 Many of Erro´s work are a kind of hommage to some previous famous painters as this one which is partly in the style of the french painter Léger

4 You can spot the face of Picasso here amongst some cartoon characters, and a bit of the Cubist style

5 This one is called The Pallet of Goya

6 This painting has a strong reference to the famous piece of Munch: The Scream

7 Erró has also made many murals for different places.

8 A mural in the Oriente Metro Station in Lisbon

9 One of the caracteristic features of Erró´s work is the abundance of everything

10 Foodscape, not landscape!

11 Manga Picasso

12 This is a painting on the icelandic nobel price author Halldór Kiljan Laxnes

13 There are so many ways to work with Erró´s work, we find him very inspiring. We like to make collages with images of things that we really like, but it can be about anything…food, animals, people or something that is POPular or in the spotlight right now.
