About
Liva Isakson Lundin creates otherworldly installations by bringing together contrasting materials in fresh and unforeseen ways. In her 2016 work Inwards, for example, gigantic coils of strip steel are barely confined within a fine membrane of stretched latex, doubled and contorted into intriguing forms; in Hold Sway (2018) ribbons of strip steel loop and sashay through the air with the delicacy of silk yet the numerous taut ropes holding the metal in place testify to its lethal potency were it to snap free. In these elegant material confrontations it is often hard to tell which element is supporting which.
Lundin was born in 1990 and earned a Masters degree from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm in 2016. Her work has been exhibited at Västerås Konstmuseum, Palladium Malmö, SAK Kungliga Konstakademin, Stockholm, Ahlbergshallen in Östersund and at the The Aguéli Museum, Sala. Her artworks are represented in several collection, thereamongst Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
