Egill Sæbjörnsson works with performance sets, sculptural accumulations and three-dimensional drawings. With a training background in drawing and painting, his approach is a technological continuation of painting.

For his intervention in the exhibition "Scratching the surface", the artist is planning a performance lecture, a performance that combines lecture elements and performative elements.

Egill Sæbjörnsson studied at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts (today the Icelandic Academy of the Arts) and from 1995 to 1996 at the University of Paris, St.Denis.
