That actually not related to an icon theme. Check this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=223801 it may help you.

install pixbuf module:
sudo pacman -S gdk-pixbuf2

Indeed after further investigation it seems that this is not related to the theme. However reinstalling gdk-pixbuf2 did not solve the issue. Thanks for the help and for the theme.
