‘Only Tears Can Quench These Flames’

Kaja Stumpf
3rd - 27th April 2025

Kaja Stumpf (b.1987) is a Norwegian artist living and working in London. She gained her MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, UAL in 2022. Stumpf’s recent work examines memory, self-representation and the mind-body connection. She explores the idea of selective memory and cognitive bias as a means of self-preservation and through painting, visualises the rumination of potential scenarios between past and present. Utilising staged images and the photographic family archive, she crops the scene and alters the colours to create a sense of delayed familiarity. Kaja Stumpf has exhibited at London Art Fair and Saatchi Gallery in 2025 and has a growing international collector base. This is Stumpf’s second solo show after ‘Pleasure is a far away land’ at BSG in 2024. Kaja Stumpf is represented by Blue Shop Gallery.
