Erika Emerén

Erika Emerén (b.1990) is a Swedish artist based in Stockholm. Inspired by the inherently appetizing aspects of confectionary, the sensuality of the human body, and the romance of nature, Erika’s work presents a menacing side to beauty: Her unassumingly ornate sculptures are undoubtedly erect and dripping with the expulsion of glaze, the stiff and plushy textile forms are suffocating in their repetition, and frighteningly exaggerated in their movements and proportions. Erika’s world fluctuates between gentle and carnal.
