the artist

Lene Bladbjerg is a Danish artist based in London, born in Denmark in 1974 and raised in Brussels. Her multicultural upbringing fuels her passion for exploring different cultures, which strongly influences her art.

With a background in graphic design, Lene blends typography and grids into her work to create striking and thought-provoking pieces. She focuses on the overlooked details of everyday life, often using recycled or unusual materials to reveal beauty in the ordinary.

the sound

Lene says: "I have chosen the song 'Walk On The Wild Side' by Lou Reed as the inspiration behind this piece for Artsnug's 2025 summer exhibition Where Sound Meets Sight. Using my background in graphic design, I enjoy weaving text into my work, and I intended this song title to be a subtle, ironic play on perception. Each figure is dressed alike in dark clothing, seemingly blending in, so the pieces acts as a quiet commentary on conformity, rather than rebellion."
