Erro

Erro, real name Guðmundur Guðmundsson, is a contemporary Icelandic painter.

Erro studied painting at the Reykjavik and Oslo Art Academies between 1952 and 1954. He then moved to Italy, where he studied mosaic art in Florence and Ravenna until 1958.

Erro participated in the Venice Biennale in 1986. In 1989 he donated a large part of his works to the Reykjavik Art Museum.

The style of the paintings created by Erro lies on the border between surrealism and pop art. The main theme of his paintings is the depiction of modern civilisation, its technical perfection and its inhumanity. He also uses comic book techniques and science fiction themes in his work.
