Sun Voyager

Sun Voyager is a dreamboat, an ode to the sun. A sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason, located next to the Sæbraut road in Reykjavík, Iceland. Intrinsically, it contains within itself the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom.

 

The work is constructed of quality stainless steel and stands on a circle of granite slabs surrounded by so-called “town-hall concrete”. It was constructed in accordance with Jón Gunnar’s enlarged full-scale drawing of Sun Voyager and was overseen by Jón Gunnar’s assistant, the artist Kristinn E. Hrafnsson. The engineering of the sculpture was supervised by the technologist, Sigurjón Yngvason, in close cooperation with Jón Gunnar himself, the building itself was carried out by Reynir Hjálmtýsson and his assistant.
