Kaye Blegvad

Kaye Blegvad (b. 1987) is a British American illustrator and artist. She works across a wide range of media, from drawings and paintings to sculpture, publications, metalwork, and conceptual pieces. Across these various materials, she explores themes around identity, mental health, social power, subjugation, and the collective.

Many of her pieces depict a snippet of narrative or ‘action’, making visual metaphors often drawn from medieval imagery, religious parables, or folk tales. Imagery is revisited repeatedly, as drawings and paintings inspire or respond to sculptures, iterating on the characters and themes. She has also published two books, and has self published numerous zines and artists books.
