Isabel Theselius
Isabel Theselius is an artist and curator investigating themes including mortality, desire, and superstition. Drawing from her own experiences, memories, and family relationships, Theselius creates work that often skirts the edge of social desire and incorporates indulgent flights of fancy to challenge the viewer to engage with their own desires.
Originally from Lund, Sweden, Theselius earned an MFA in Studio Art from the University of California Irvine and a BFA in Fine Arts from Valand School of Fine Arts in Gothenburg, Sweden.
During 2019 Theselius participated in a 3 month artist residency at Crosstown Arts in Memphis, Tennessee. In 2018, she received a year-long work grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee and participated in an artist exchange project in Tiznit, Morocco. Recent solo shows include Pio Pico Gallery in Los Angeles, Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles, Detroit Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden, and OK Corral in Copenhagen, Denmark.
