| BIOGRAPHY |
Snorri Ásmundsson
was born in Akureyri, Iceland in 1966.
He began his education in the arts very early on at the Akureyri
School of Visual Arts and has developed his exceptional talents
as a painter since that time. He has held ten private gallery
showings, has taken part in many collaborative projects, both
in Iceland and abroad, and has been an active associate in a
number of artistic happenings, all to great review.
Snorri developed and ran the International Gallery of Snorri
Ásmundsson, located on Akureyri's renowned Artists Way,
from 1994 to 1997, and now operates, along with ten other artists,
Gallery Kling og Bang on
Laugarvegur 23, in Reykjavik.
Mr. Ásmundsson is President and Knight of the Akureyri
Academy and the leader of the Left Right Revolution political
party. He represented his party in the 2002 Reykjavik mayoral
elections, narrowly missing out to the incumbent mayor, Ingibjörg
Sólrún Gísladóttir. He is Directing
Manager of the Santa Barbara Painting Service, a company that
has gained much respect in its
field. he was made an Honored Citizen of Akureyri in 2000 and
again of Seyðisfjörður in December 2003. Few, if
any, Icelanders have that distinction.
And now, Snorri Ásmundsson is running for President of
Iceland.
