Featurette: Húbert Nói Jóhannesson

One day when I live in Reykjavik, I hope I'll actually be able to go to one of these. This new show at Gallery Turpentine is featuring the work of Húbert Nói.

From CIA(Center for Icelandic Art):
Húbert Nói (b. 1961) studied biology, geology and chemistry at the University of Iceland in addition to his studies at the Icelandic College of Art and Crafts. While painting forms the core of his artwork, his diverse oeuvre includes drawings, etchings, videos, and even a CD of real-time music for astronauts. His creative work can be conceptualized as a sort of contemporary alchemy: transforming the scientific into the spiritual.
