Klara Zetterholm (b. 1991 in Stockholm) lives and works in Stockholm. She graduated from the Royal Institute of Art in 2022. Working across sculpture, décor painting, installation, and assemblage, her recent practice focuses on bas-reliefs that mimic and forge materials and histories through patina, motifs, and surface treatments.

‍

With a background in scenography and prop-making, Zetterholm employs techniques from stage and set design to construct fictional narratives that echo archeological and natural history displays. Her work engages with notions of non-linear time, mythology, and human evolution, often conjuring a sense of uncanniness and negotiating binaries such as the ultramodern and the prehistoric, the prosperous and the apocalyptic.

Selected solo and group exhibitions include: Independent Art Fair (New York, 2025), Market Art Fair (Stockholm, 2025), Material Art Fair (Mexico City, 2024), Felix Art Fair (Los Angeles, 2024), the simple life, the still.)) at Suprainfinit Gallery (Bucharest, 2023), and solo shows at Galleri Thomassen and Issues Gallery in Stockholm (2023).
