This piece is number two in a series of figure works called Between moments. I wanted to do a series of works that focuses on the figure in a somewhat vulnerable state. I record the model while working and then select still images from the video while the model is changing from one position to the next. This offers me a range of unexpected and often delicate positions that can not be planned otherwise.

Thorgrimur was born in Reykjavík, in the southwest of Iceland in 1980. He spent his teens composing and performing music before enrolling at the School of Audio Engineering in London at the age of 23. After London, musical aspirations led him to the Royal Conservatory in den Haag, Holland, from where he graduated in 2010. However, having aquired an interest in oil painting during his stay, he found he was further able to articulate his creative outlet in a visual medium, and has almost exclusively focused his attentions on oil painting since then. Whenever possible, Thorgrimur prefers to work from direct observation, believing it to be the optimum way of creating an authentic look. Even though he finds inspiration in a variety of subjects the landscape, his greatest passion, continually finds its way to his canvas. Working in the Alla Prima style of painting, Thorgrimur expresses his subject in what he likes to describe as painterly realism. Maintaining an emphasis on “accurate” drawing, values and color, he aspiers to capture his subject as honestly as possible while articulating its emotinal impact.
