Eirdís Ragnarsdóttir (b. 1993) is an Icelandic & Chinese artist living and working in Beijing. Growing up between Iceland, China, Japan and New York, alongside her mixed heritage, Eirdís’s creative process served as a sanctuary while facing her many identities. Her paintings express her dialectic experience of self, the subjects alien yet molding to its’ environment.

Eirdís’s work embodies a contradiction between the Western fixation of “finding oneself” and the Eastern philosophy of “no self”. She has participated in various exhibitions in New York, San Francisco, Beijing, Shanghai, Milan, Paris, Tokyo, nominated as one of China’s leading emerging artists of the year in 2024 by UCCA, she has exhibited with Gucci and collaborated with brands such as Arche, Burton & Fujifilm.
