Bella RUNE

Bella Rune is a Swedish artist who is based in Stockholm. She has a unique vision and approach to art, breathing new life into artisanal and sculptural traditions. Textiles play a central role in her work, enabling her to explore the intricate relationship between bodies and architecture and redefine the interaction between art and space. Her artistic practice is characterised by an innovative and experimental approach to space, challenging the boundaries between sculpture, textiles and technology, and encouraging viewers to reconsider their perceptions of art and functionality. Through her work, she invites viewers to enter a creative world that speaks to the essence of human experience and interaction. This prompts reflection on their surroundings and encourages dialogue about the interplay between the physical and the conceptual. The materials she uses are carefully chosen to enhance the sensory experience of her installations, ensuring a profound connection between viewer and artwork.

Rune studied at Chelsea College of Arts in London and Beckmans School of Design in Stockholm. She creates sculptures that intricately incorporate performative elements, experimenting with diverse materials and innovative techniques. In her ongoing project, 'Konsekvensanalys' (Impact Analysis), she explores the intersection between physical reality and captivating virtual worlds augmented by technology, examining how these realms can converge and influence one another. Her work is represented in the collections of several institutions, including Moderna Museet in Stockholm and Malmö Konstmuseum. She has also been showcased in exhibitions at the Munch Museum in Oslo, the Carl Eldh Studio Museum in Stockholm, and the König Galerie in Berlin.
