Fodor's Expert Review Guido van Helten Murals

The most impressive murals in Reykjavík are the work of Australia-born artist Guido van Helten, who carried out a series of commissions on buildings throughout Iceland between 2013 and 2014. His most noted works are those painted on the walls of an old theater building in the hip Grandi Harbor area of the city, featuring characters from a 1961 staging of Sartre’s No Exit. Guido frequently uses old photographs to guide his work; those used for this epic mural were sourced from the Reykjavík Museum of Photography.
