About the Artist

Cajsa von Zeipel is a sculptor whose work delves into identity, gender, queerness and normativity. She has become known for her white, large-scale plaster sculptures but in her recent works she has left the reference to classical sculpture and developed an even more complex technique. von Zeipel constructs her female figures in pastel coloured silicone in an evocation of sci-fi and fantasy aesthetics. (…) Cajsa von Zeipel was born 1983 in Gothenburg, Sweden and lives and works in New York. She received her MFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, Sweden in 2010. Recent institutional exhibitions include Rubell Museum, Miami and Washington DC, USA (2021-2022); Museum of Sex, New York, USA (2022); ARKEN Museum for Moderne Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark (2021); ECLIPSE, 7th Athens Biennale, Greece (2021); Eskilstuna Konstmuseum, Eskilstuna, Sweden (2021); Baroque Topologies, KV Leipzig, Germany (2020); Journey Through a Body, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Germany (2020) and Art of Sport, Copenhagen Contemporary, Denmark (2020). Her work is in numerous public and private collections.
