Gardar Eide Einarsson (b. 1976) is a Norwegian conceptual artist known for his work in painting, sculpture, and installation. His art critically examines the dynamics of power and social control by recontextualizing symbols and imagery from various subcultures and political sources. Einarsson’s aesthetic often employs a minimalist and monochromatic style, drawing from protest slogans, graffiti, and police manuals to create a tension between individual freedom and systemic constraints. A graduate of the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program, his work has been featured in major international exhibitions, including the Whitney Biennial, and is held in prominent collections worldwide. He currently lives and works between Tokyo and New York City.
