Laleh Kazemi Veisari b. 1983

Laleh Kazemi Veisari (b. 1983) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. Her interdisciplinary practice embraces drawing, painting, sculpture and writing. Kazemi Veisari’s work with archives, memory and language leaves traces in spatial, visual and literary expressions. In her practice she documents and uses found material and stories to study these fragments both intuitively and methodically through different media: the montage of image, objects and text hold new connections in space. 

Among Kazemi Veisari’s solo exhibitions are Bror Hjorths Hus, Uppsala, Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Stockholm, Oktogonen, Göteborgs Konsthall and GIBCA Extended – Galleri Konstepidemin, Gothenburg. She is the recipient of the 2018 Bror Hjorth Drawing Grant (Bror Hjorthföreningens stipendium för unga tecknare), the 2019 Bernadotte Grant and the 2022 grant holder of the Beckers Art Award (Beckers Konstnärsstipendium). Laleh Kazemi Veisari holds an MFA in Fine Arts (2019) from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm.
