LINA KRUOPYTE
Lina Kruopytė (b. 1988) is an artist based in Stockholm and Vilnius. She works with sculpture, film, text, and painting. While her work echoes Minimalism’s focus on form, material, scaling, and repetition, it often ventures into more conceptual territory. By drawing from the aesthetics, rhetoric, and logic of the lifestyle industries, she explores themes such as architecture, development, and ideological conflicts.
