Louise Bech Pedersen

Louise Bech Pedersen is a graduate from the Royal College of Art in London and an artist and designer living in Copenhagen.

Through a vast variety of styles and expressions her work spands from studies of wildlife and landscape, to comic strips, to an imagery of fables and fairy tales, to apparel fashion print design. In many of her paintings, with Nature as a foremost source of inspiration, she intertwines natural motifs with elements from the world of comics, thus creating an unconventional context.

In Bech’s drawings, quote: “small doodles on big issues” she comments on life in momentary observations and somewhat cynical, but humorous, statements. Her recent projects include murals and a light installation.
