Description
Kristoffer Axén [b. 1984, Stockholm, Sweden] is a visual artist whose practice spans both painting and photography. Through these mediums he creates images that seem to emerge from the shadows, fragments of faded memories and half-remembered dreams. Figures appear like gold sifted from a gently flowing stream, shimmering reflections of moments from another life. Atmospheric and enigmatic, his works capture scenes suspended at the edges of a narrative that always remains just out of reach.
Having studied photography at the International Center of Photography in New York, where he lived and worked for five years, and later developing as a self-taught painter, Axén has established an idiosyncratic practice that bridges mediums. His work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Munch Gallery [New York], Galerie Pi, [Copenhagen], and Gallery Domeij [Stockholm], and included in major group shows at Aperture Gallery [New York], Musée de l’Elysée [Lausanne], Liljevalchs Konsthall [Stockholm], Galerie Hors Champs [Paris], and Photo London fair, 2025… READ MORE
