Presented in “Faroese Culture Days: Fog Swept Islands,” a spring celebration at Scandinavia House in New York, see a film talk on HEARTIST, a new documentary exploring the life and work of contemporary Faroese artist Sigrun Gunnarsdóttir! Gunnarsdótti was joined for a panel and Q&A with director Beinta á Torkilsheyggi and producers Jón Hammer & Rógvi Rasmussen following a screening at Scandinavia House on Saturday, April 13, where they discussed the making of the film and the artist's work. One of the most important contemporary painters on the Faroe Islands, Sigrun Gunnarsdóttir and the colorful simplicity of her style have resonated with the art world, resulting in local and international recognition. With an aesthetically pleasing and carefully composed imagery inspired by Sigrun’s own approach, Mørkøre and Torkilsheyggi’s documentary delves into the artist’s vision, her life journey, personal challenges and quirks.
