Rose Eken

Rose Eken (b. 1976) is a Danish visual artist whose practice dances between the meticulously handmade and the everyday ephemeral. Working primarily in ceramics, her work distills fragments of life—guitar pedals, crumpled cigarette packs, slices of cake—into sculptural still lifes that feel both intimate and theatrical.

With a background in scenography, Eken builds immersive installations that read like stage sets frozen mid-performance. Objects are rendered not as perfect replicas, but with visible brushstrokes and fingerprints—alive with imperfection and narrative. There’s a quiet defiance in her work, a playful nod to pop culture and punk, but always anchored in the tactile, the personal, the real.

Her ceramic interpretations turn the ordinary into relics. A walkman. A studio coffee cup. A single sneaker. These aren’t just things—they’re emotional echoes, made permanent. In Eken’s hands, the act of remembering becomes sculptural.

Eken is educated at the Royal College of Art in London and the Edinburgh College of Art. Her work has been exhibited across Europe and the U.S., and is part of major public and private collections. She lives and works in Copenhagen.
