Katarina Löfström works across video, sculpture, and installation to explore perception, light, and the tension between materiality and illusion. Drawing on visual languages ranging from digital aesthetics to mysticism and modernist abstraction, her works often evoke hypnotic, contemplative states—blending sensory immediacy with conceptual depth. A recurring concern in her practice is visual art's capacity to break free from habitual patterns of thought and behavior, opening space for alternative modes of perception.
With early works rooted in moving image and a sustained interest in animation, Löfström's practice also draws on her early experience in commercial film and music video production, where she collaborated with director Jonas Åkerlund on projects for artists such as Madonna, Prodigy, and Moby. These influences continue to inform her sensitivity to rhythm, visual composition, and sound.
Sculptural forms and site-sensitive interventions play a larger role in Löfström’s recent work, engaging scale, rhythm, and spatial awareness. Since the turn of the millennium, her work has been shown widely in galleries and institutions, including Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Thielska Galleriet, Stockholm; Bohusläns Museum; Södertälje Konsthall; Index, Stockholm; Norrköpings Konstmuseum; Malmö Konsthall; and Uppsala Konstmuseum. She is currently working on several public commissions.
Katarina Löfström is represented by Andréhn-Schiptjenko in Stockholm and Paris.
