At Suðurfläs by Breið, on the landward side of the old lighthouse, a work is made of stainless steel and made in memory of the Hafmejar accident that happened in 1905, right outside the lighthouse. Bjarni Þór is also the co-author of the sculpture Skvísurnarn at Skólabraut together with Guðna Hannessyn in Lykkja, but the work is located between their houses. At Elínarhöfði is the work Tálbeita by Bjarna Þór Bjarnason, but it was built in 2000 in connection with Reykjavík, which was then the European City of Culture.
Bjarni Þór Bjarnason was born in Akranes in 1948 and grew up here. He is the son of the couple Þórunna Friðriksdóttir and Bjarna Eggertsson from Kringla, but that house still stands, somewhat altered, at Mánabraut in Akranes. Bjarni was the town artist of Akraness in 1997. Bjarni studied at the Art School in Reykjavík and at the Iceland Art and Handicraft School, but he also studied abroad. He has held solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions of his works in Akranes and elsewhere.
