"The End"


A fascinating (and slightly awkward) piece of hybrid performance/fine art by Icelander Ragnar Kjartansson. The paintings themselves are very simple and child-like and the Kerouac-style execution of the art will no doubt earn Kjartansson and his muse, one Mr. Paull Hauker Bjornsson, a great deal of hipster street cred. Frankly, I like the idea, but wonder about the significance of the yellow and black speedo and why a man from Iceland would look like he had so much experience wearing it...
