Nina Saunders was born in Odense, Denmark in 1958 and now lives and works in London. Saunders works across a wide range of materials, creating sculptures that are humorous and idiosyncratic, yet at the same time quiet and contemplative, encouraging the viewer to question what they are at looking at. Her work plays with the function of the domestic object, subversively questioning our ways of thinking and the world we inhabit. Abstract Mass, for example, is an armchair cast in concrete – you are tempted to touch it, even sit on it, but upon closer inspection, you realize its surface is rough and uninviting. Her artwork encompasses the random, playfulness, the dream and the subconscious.

Saunders trained at Central St Martin's, London, studying Fine Art and Critical Studies. She has exhibited worldwide, including at the Venice Biennale (2009), the Victoria & Albert Museum (2010) and Hermès flagship stores in Dubai (2017), Los Angeles (2016) and New York (2015) . Her works are in numerous museums and private collections and she has received much notoriety for her awards in Denmark.
