Contemporary Art & Design presents Lovisa Ringborg


Lovisa Ringborg, "Dancing Wall" och "Nesting", 2017.

Bukowskis presents the work "Dancing Wall" och "Nesting", by Lovisa Ringborg at the upcoming auction Contemporary Art & Design – The Only Dedicated Live Auction in the Nordics For Contemporary Art and Design.

Lovisa Ringborg has her own unique artistic expression; she is a master at capturing moods in her images. She creates her works by carefully combining several different photographs and details into a new whole. The compositions and dark lighting of her works reveal that classical painting is one of her sources of inspiration. She draws on her own image bank, built up over time and consisting of a variety of art historical references from the Baroque to contemporary painting, combined with her own experiences of nature, fragments of dreams and her own life story. Her staged images are more about a semi-conscious state where the line between waking and dreaming is blurred. Yet the images are sharp and detailed, with an evocative mood and a keen sense of nuance.



Lovisa Ringborg works in a variety of techniques, including photography, video and sculpture, which have become increasingly central to her practice. She has had several acclaimed solo exhibitions in Sweden and abroad, including in the United States, South Korea, Switzerland and Finland. In 2019, her book "Phantom Limbs" was published, which was named one of the winners of Svensk Bokkonst 2019 and included in Lens Culture's top list of best photo books for 2020.

"It is remarkable how the imagery within the works of Lovisa Ringborg, which are on display at Galleri Cecilia Hillström, strikes and decisively shapes one's impression. The young Renaissance artists Massacio (The Holy Trinity in Santa Maria Novella in Florence) and Uccello (The Fall of Man Suite in Chiostro Verde, a stone's throw from Massacio's work) intervene and, for my part, transform the diptychs 'Dancing Wall' and 'Nesting' into a dance of death in which the memorial stone has the last word.

The soft rose-green-grey chord contributes to the time travel and the play of forms; silence and inferno coexist and the image suggests both purgatory and the subsequent judgement."
