Louise Lidströmer



Louise (L) Lidströmer (born 9 July 1948, in Vienna) is a Swedish artist who studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm 1967–72. She works with paintings, sculpture and object installation, and has presented large series of exhibitions in and outside Sweden.

The installation "Tabula Rasa" at Stockholm Art Fair 1994 attracted a lot of attention. Instead of "hommage" she has created the concept "femmage"  (a female celebration). Series of femmages to e.g. Camille Claudel and to Titian have been shown and have attracted attention in Sweden, but also in Paris (Centre Culturel Suédois), Mons in Belgium (Musée des Beaux Arts) and Rome (Istituto Svedese). Louise Lidströmer has signed her paintings with "Ljubi" until 1996, L² for sculptures and "L. Lidströmer" for paintings from 1996.
