This season, we are delighted to collaborate with Danish artist and sculptor, Liné Ringtved Thordarson.
For our AW23 Sculptural Elements collection, we were inspired by Liné’s depiction of the female form and by her work, Girls With Guns.
ARTIST
LINÉ RINGTVED THORDARSON
A graduate of the Icelandic University of the Arts in Reykjavik, Liné is a prolific creative whose passion and emotion burst forth from each of her sculptures. She describes her work as ‘lived life and emotions translated into form.’ Largely focused on the sensuality of the female form, Thordarson’s work explores eroticism, liberation and freedom of expression.
"The idea behind the Girls With Guns piece was to demystify guns and transform them into something less desirable by painting them in bright colour". "The guns are positioned as weapons should be, useless, and not as a useful weapon".
In GIRLS WITH GUNS, these are real guns that are disassembled and also rendered useless by being partially closed inside the coarsely structured material.
