Lovisa Axén (b. 1996, Götlunda) is an artist based in Malmö, Sweden. Working primarily with textiles, she explores the fragility of memory—how it blurs, fractures, and reshapes over time. Through pixelation and subtle distortions, her works evoke the spaces between clarity and loss, where what is absent becomes as present as what remains.

In her practice, everyday materials like shirt buttons are transformed into carriers of intimacy and recognition, inviting viewers into a quiet, searching encounter. Without demanding technical decoding, her pieces instead offer an emotional resonance—fragments that ask to be pieced together, but never fully resolved.

Axén’s upcoming duo show with Carter Shocket will be:
