Linnéa Gad

Linnéa Gad (b. 1990, Stockholm, Sweden) is a visual artist from Stockholm, Sweden, working across sculpture, painting, performance, and writing. Her art reflects an interconnected ecosystem, using materials like cardboard, metal, bark, and porcelain that evoke protective shells and calcification processes. Her practice is layered and cyclical, reusing materials and recurring motifs that reflect lifecycles. Gad received her MFA from Columbia University in 2022. Her solo shows include Return of The Mollusk at Astor Weeks in New York (2024), Erratics at Spencer Brownstone in New York (2019) and Luster Pit at RØM in Copenhagen (2018). The artist has participated in group shows at The Jewish Museum in New York (2022), The Lenfest Center for the Arts in New York (2021) and SixtyEight Art Institute in Copenhagen (2021). The artist has also recently exhibited at Ceysson Bénétière in New York, Beau Travail in Stockholm, Half Gallery in New York and Issues Gallery in Stockholm. In 2023, Gad presented her first public artwork, Shoals, two large-scale sculptures installed in Nolan Park on Governors Island in collaboration with the Billion Oyster Project. She is the recipient of multiple grants from The Swedish Arts Grants Committee and was shortlisted for the Frankenthaler Climate Art Awards in 2022.
