We Love Apples

Åsa Jungnelius is an artist with a compelling feminist approach to everything she creates. Inspired by Ulrica Hydman Vallien, who often portrayed the female body in her art, Åsa created We Love Apples as an homage to the late artist. Sven X: et Erixon, with whom Åsa shares the same love for vivid colors, is the second influential artist she also paid tribute to through this collection. “I want the apples to appear insatiable - delicious and difficult to resist. Much like the biblical apple from the Garden of Eden which Eve took a bite from, despite that it was forbidden” – Åsa Jungnelius

Artist Inspired by Feminism

Åsa Jungnelius

Åsa Jungnelius (born in 1975) lives and works in Stockholm and in Månsamåla, Sweden, where she previously shared the glassworks with the celebrated Kosta Boda artist Ulrica Hydman Vallien, her mentor and a great source of inspiration. In 2004, the artist had her first major success with her degree project created for one of Sweden's most prestigious art and design universities, called “I like your hairstyle!” In the installation, she created a surrealist shopping scene with objects that spark desire.
