Anton Lyngdal (Mr. Awkward show / Opes_vs_vato) is a conceptual artist from Reykjavík.
Anton works under several artist names, or “ultra-egos,” as he himself calls them. His practice spans a wide range of materials and artistic fields, including graffiti, glassblowing, painting, rap, video, and sculpture.

Anton draws most of his inspiration from human behavior. He frequently works with memory and role models, often seeking ways to use art as a source of strength to navigate the various hardships that life presents.

He graduated with a BA in 2017 from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, where his graduation project was nominated for a graduation prize. Earlier, in 2012, he had graduated from the Reykjavík School of Visual Arts.

Anton has held and participated in numerous exhibitions, both abroad and in Iceland. These include participation in DesignMarch, solo exhibitions at Núllið Gallery, and group shows at Artin Amsterdam, De Kring Amsterdam, Gallerí Fold, and Gallerí Port. In addition, he ran an art studio in Rotterdam for a time with the artist collective Madlab.
