Artist

Klara Zetterholm

1991 , Swedish

Klara Zetterholm (b. 1991, Stockholm, SE) describes her works as situated broadly in the field of sculpture, involving painting, installation, and assemblage. She graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm in 2022 and her MFA exhibition was awarded a grant from the Bonnier Foundation. Her latest works include bas-reliefs, mostly engaging in faking and forging materials and antiqueness through patina, motifs, and faux stone or wood painting.
