At Apollo art you will find a unique selection of acrylic paintings by well-known and emerging artists, either from or based in Iceland.

Acrylic paintings have come a long way since acrylic paints first became available in the 1950s. Oil paint dominated the art world and, understandably, many were skeptical of the new type of paint to begin with. Over time, artists became convinced of the usefulness and properties of acrylic paint, such as how quickly it dries, as well as its texture and other advantages. The quality of acrylic paint has therefore convinced many artists and thus increased the number of well-made acrylic paintings.
