Gardar Eide Einarsson (b. 1976, Oslo, Norway) is an artist whose work addresses power, ideology, and systems of control through a conceptual and minimalist aesthetic. Working across painting, installation, and text, he appropriates visual codes from subcultures, institutional signage, and political movements. Einarsson’s art exposes how forms and symbols shape collective behavior, reflecting on autonomy and resistance in a society defined by surveillance and commodification.
