Nina Saunders, who works across a wide range of materials and art forms, is most widely known for her playful sculptural furniture pieces, melting and morphing into each other and sometimes incorporating animals. Her breakthrough came with work exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery, London, in the mid-nineties and she has exhibited worldwide since, with work held in her native Denmark and many European contemporary art museums.
Selected recent exhibitions include: I Heard a Voice in the Midst of the Four Beasts, Kunsten Museum of Modern Art, Aalborg, Demark (2017); A Journey through a Nordic fairytale, Martin Asbaek Gallery, New York (2012); Fuorisalone, Salone del Mobile, Milan (2011); Hidden Histories, Untold Stories, Victoria and Albert Museum (2010); Katy’s convoy, touring Denmark and the UK (2009-12) and The Collectors, Danish and Nordic Pavilions, la Biennale di Venezia (2009).
