Anna Schwartz Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works entitled Icelandic Puffins by Emily Floyd from 8 April until 13 May 2017. The exhibition marks the artist’s tenth solo show with the gallery.

With Icelandic Puffins Floyd creates a landscape populated by hand-carved bird sculptures, each unique, and crafted in the artist’s distinct sculptural vernacular. Icelandic text is paired alongside each of the puffins, listing corporate protagonists prosecuted by the State of Iceland following the collapse of all three of the country’s major banks: Glitnir, Landsbanki and Kaupthing.  Icelandic Puffins creates a dialogue between the seductive power of design, here in typical Scandinavian style, with the dark veneer of global financial and political crisis.
