Lene Bladbjerg is a danish artist based in London. She
was born in Denmark in 1974, but grew up in Brussels, Belgium. The
multinational environment prompted Lene's passion for exploring new
countries and cultures, which has influenced her work as
an artist.
In 1995, Lene attended Kent Institute of Art and Design,
Rochester, England and later graduated from London College of Printing
with a 1:1 Degree honours in Graphic and Media Design in 2000. During
her time studying, she had the opportunity to do workplacements in
Denmark, England and The Philippines.
Since then, she has been working from her studio in Crystal Palace,
South London, as a full-time visual artist and freelance graphic
designer.
Lene Bladbjerg’s work is influenced by her
background as a graphic designer. Typography and grids drift in and out
of her pieces creating haunting images and surprising messages. Her
work can be very thought-provoking. She pays great attention to the
smaller scale details of everyday life. In her work she attempts to
capture the hidden beauty or interesting aspect of even the most
ordinary of events or objects. She often creates her work by
incorporating unusual materials, often re-cycled.
