Paula Tove Alderin is a multidisciplinary artist navigating the boundaries of language, matter, and embodied experience. Her practice combines visual art and performative actions, engaging with themes of transience and destruction—the not-yet-formed—while exploring liminal spaces and other realms through the lenses of philosophy and belief systems. In recent years, she has increasingly engaged with the political dimensions of these concepts.

Her work spans expanded painting, sculpture, collage, light, and site-specific installations. Drawing from early experiences shaped by flesh and spirit, rawness and beauty, and the unseen or suppressed, her work probes thresholds of space and concept. It also reflects resistance against erasure in a world increasingly marked by disembodiment and political urgency.

Paula Tove Alderin (b. 1971) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Royal Danish Academy, Copenhagen (2000), and a Postmaster of Fine Arts from the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm (2022–2023). In 2024, she studied at the Department of Theology at Uppsala University (Beauty, Humour, and Pleasure in the Shadow of the Bomb) and at Valand/HDK, Gothenburg (Methods of Writing within Artistic Practice). She also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Art History. Paula Tove Alderin's first solo show with the gallery opens March 26, 2026.
