Born in Sweden 1963 | Lives and workes in Stockholm, Sweden.

 

Charlotte Gyllenhammar’s artistry is among the most idiosyncratic and expressive within contemporary Swedish art. Many of her works represent states of mind or highly emotionally charged situations that often provoke in the viewer a reaction of anxiety and fascination. Since the early 1990s, she has shown impressive consistency in exploring issues central to identity and the conditions governing artistic creativity. Her art returns to themes such as gravity, outer and inner space borders, lack of freedom, memories, and threatening images. She also frequently touches on concepts such as power, vulnerability, beauty, and femininity.

 

Charlotte Gyllenhammar studied at the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, and at the Royal College of Art, London. Her works have been exhibited in solo exhibitions at Fotografiska, Stockholm, Gothenburg Museum of Art, Gothenburg and Wanås Foundation, Knislinge, Sweden, Munkeruphus Museum, Danmark and Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, Paris, France, among others. Group exhibitions include the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark, Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, Germany, and at the Venice Biennale, Italy, in 2011. Her works are represented in prestigious private and public collections worldwide.
