RAGNHILDUR JÓHANNS

INTIMATE STILL LIFE NARRATIVES

Reykjavík, Iceland

Ragnhildur Jóhanns

Ragnhildur Jóhanns is an Icelandic visual artist whose still life paintings introduce a dynamic interplay between structured beauty and human presence. Through the unexpected inclusion of a female hand, often seen touching, holding, or arranging objects, she disrupts the traditional still life, transforming it into a narrative moment filled with life and intimacy. Her work invites viewers to engage with the tactile relationship we have with the world, offering a deeper connection to nature’s beauty. By challenging the stillness of classical aesthetics, Jóhanns creates a charged atmosphere that speaks to the movement, energy, and humanity within the objects that surround us.

BIOGRAPHY

Ragnhildur Jóhanns

Ragnhildur Jóhanns (b. 1977) is a visual artist based in Reykjavík, Iceland. She graduated from the Icelandic Art Academy in 2010 and has since exhibited her work in both Iceland and internationally. Working across various mediums, including painting, drawing, and sculpture, Ragnhildur's practice blends dreamlike surrealism with everyday objects. Her work explores the tension between the fantastical and the familiar, inviting viewers to reflect on the ordinary through an altered, often otherworldly lens. Ragnhildur´s works have been published and exhibited internationally since her graduation. She had a focus on text works at the beginning of her career working mainly with books but has since turned to painting.
