Klara Lilja (DK)

In Klara Lilja's (b. 1989) fantastical worldbuilding, abstract biomorphic forms are transformed in an organic genesis of imaginative beings, flora, and fauna. These otherworldly ceramics, enveloped in mesmerizing glazes, channel history, science and popular culture through Lilja's eclectic visual language and personal experience: “The events that left their mark on me happened in days gone by, in my head”, Lilja quotes one of her Symbolist heroes, the French painter Odilon Redon (1840-1916). Bestowing her figures with an aura of enchantment, Lilja's works materialize in a wondrous microcosm, bridging her idiosyncratic universe with the inner world of the viewer.

Klara Lilja’s recent exhibitions include ‘Between Myth and Reality,’ Willumsen’s Museum, DK (2022-23), ‘Parangkera,’ V1 Galley, DK (2021); ‘Fantasy,’ Collaborations, DK (2020), ‘Philosopher’s Mountain,’ V1 Gallery, Copenhagen, DK (2019), ‘Dryade,’ Politikens Forhal, DK (2018). In the spring of 2023, she will participate in a new group exhibition at Ordrupgaard, Charlottenlund, DK.
