Pauline Fransson Swedish, b. 1990

Pauline Fransson is an emerging Swedish painter who, in her body of works, is inspired by her own immediate surroundings in the woodlands around her studio in Småland, Sweden. She mainly works with egg tempera and oil on canvas, and her work is underpinned by a profound interest in how fragility can be expressed through the transparency of the egg tempera and the opaque, saturated quality of the oil paint. Identifying a kinship between nature and the sensitive, impressionable body, Fransson stresses that nature is body and body is nature.

Fransson holds an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen (2021), and her work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Sweden, Denmark, and China. Previous exhibitions include Market Art Fair, Stockholm (2023), Olivia Edwards Gallery, New York (2023), Galerie Anhava, Helsinki (2023), Berg Gallery, Stockholm (2022), Bricks Gallery, Copenhagen (2022), Enter Art Fair, Copenhagen (2023, 2022), Kalmar Art Museum, Alice Folker Gallery, Copenhagen, Vandalorum, Värnamo, and Nordic Art Center, Xiamen. Fransson is represented in the collections of the Public Art Agency Sweden, the art association of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Kalmar Art Museum, Region Kronoberg, and the County Council in Region Kalmar, among others.
