Eva Löfdahl (b 1953) is one of Sweden’s most important contemporary artists. Since her debut, she has created varieties of paradoxical metaphors, challenging our habitual way of seeing things, in the form of sculptures, objects, paintings and drawings shown in exhibitions, or works made specifically for a particular public site. Löfdahl’s solo exhibition will be held at Moderna Museet in Stockholm from February 5th.
