Åsa Jungnelius Swedish, b. 1975

Overview
Åsa Jungnelius
Birth of Venus, 2022, Carrara marble, 40 x 35 x 44 CM

Åsa Jungnelius' artistic practice entails a material exploration, shifting between the monumental, the social and psychologically constructed settings. Through the physicality of the object she inquires how identities and bodily desires are formed and expressed. Her interest in body and matter is centered around issues concerning the constant re-negotiation of these two entities throughout human history. She broke new ground early on with her astute examination of identity politics and gender identification.

 

Åsa Jungnelius b. 1975, lives and works in Stockholm and Månsamåla, Sweden. She has been exhibiting regularly in Sweden and internationally since the beginning of 2000 and is engaged in numerous public commissions such as the new public subway station Hagastaden in Stockholm, opening in 2026.  Her works are represented in the collection of Moderna Museet, Stockholm, The Swedish National Gallery to name a few as well as several prominent private collections around the world.
