Rasmus Myrup (b. 1991, Copenhagen) is a Danish artist, whose work seeks out the fragility and potent potential in common conceptions. By tinkering with our ideas of folklore, plants, the hegemony of history and the volatile nature of language, he attempts to reshape research and the deep past in a relatable form, so the known can be felt anew. Thus, through his sculptures, drawings and paintings, Myrup grapples with how malleable the experience of being human is – and how susceptible it is; at its worst to manipulation and at its best to change.
Rasmus Myrup (b. 1991, Denmark) lives and works in Copenhagen.
