Description
A Voyage to Iceland (2025) is a materico acrylic painting by Egon Prijon that explores the raw dynamics of geological formation and elemental tension. Through dense textures, fractured lines, and restrained chromatic fields, the work evokes volcanic movement beneath frozen surfaces—where latent energy, erosion, and emergence coexist. The canvas reads as a silent landscape in flux, transforming nature into a visual signal of time, pressure, and transformation.
A Voyage to Iceland is the opening work of Egon Prijon’s opus “Le quattro stagioni”, an allegorical series inspired bthe Four Seans of the year. Winter becomes a paradoxical landscape: a snowy expanse lit by sun and ringed by volcanic fire.
At the base of the peaks, settlements cluster and draw warmth from geothermal lakes fed by the volcanoes. The painting portrays coexistence of extremes — ice and fire, danger and shelter, destruction and renewal — through layered surfaces: rough impasto for volcanic force, translucent washes for snow, and glowing pigments for thermal light.
As both landscape and metaphor, it proposes harmony not as calm, but as life carried forward within elemental tension.
