Louise Fenger-Krog Swedish, b. 1961

Overview

Louise Fenger-Krog, born on April 12, 1961, in Falun, is a Swedish painter and sculptor currently active in Stockholm. Her primary artistic focus lies in oil painting within the realm of neoromantic postmodernism, skillfully pushing  the boundaries of classical landscape painting. Through her works, she engages in a critical dialogue with the contemporary market-liberal economic system, addressing climate change and environmental issues. One notable piece, "Trygga Konsumtionen" (2011), draws inspiration from De La Croix's "Freedom on the Barricades."

 

Her education includes studies at KV Kristianstad's artistic education from 1980 to 1982, followed by enrollment at Hovedskous Painting School in Gothenburg from 1982 to 1984. Subsequently, she studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm,  specializing in painting and sculpture from 1984 to 1989. Fenger-Krog was awarded the Ester Lindahl scholarship in 1995.
