Ooops..!

Hjalti Parelius

LG // Litla Gallerý - Hjalti Parelius 2025

An old threat that has been dormant for 30 years is reawakening.

The world watches as elderly men and convicted criminals play punishment chess on the world's chessboard

The theater of the absurd continues live on YouTube as one of the most powerful nations in the world has become reality television.

Truth no longer matters. Gaslighting is what is to come. The degeneration of patriarchy is revealed in all its glory.

The explosions seen here remind us of what lies behind the red button.

I have always admired and at the same time feared the mushroom cloud that such weapons leave behind.

I hope I never see it in person.

When the clown takes over the court, he does not become king. It is the palace that turns into a circus.

Hjalti Parelius was born in 1979 in Reykjavík and studied art at the Fjölbrautskólinn in Breiðholt and then at the Danish School of Design in Copenhagen with an emphasis on graphic design.

Hjalti has focused on collage in oil on canvas, but the works on the exhibition have been in the working process for the last few months.

There will be a special exhibition opening on Thursday, Marsh 20th from 18:00-21:00 and everyone is welcome!
