More information
Lovis Ringborg has attracted a lot of attention in what is usually referred to as arranged, narrative photography. Through delicate manipulations, she shows us a world where the entire scene is a fusion of fantasy and reality. Her compositions and dark lighting indicate that classical painting, both Renaissance and Baroque, has had a strong influence on her work. The strong contrasts between light and dark in her photographs are similar to Caravaggio's paintings. Despite her relationship with classical painting, her choice of subjects is anything but traditional and she has consistently worked to translate her own questions and experiences into a highly personalised symbolic imagery. After studying painting at the Gerlesborg School in Bohuslän, she studied at the School of Photography in Gothenburg, where she received her master's degree in 2008. Ringborg has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions both in Sweden and abroad. In 2010 she was awarded the Hasselblad Foundation's Victor Fellowship.
