Susanne Lund-Young (b.1983) is a visual artist based in Arvika, Sweden. She works predominantly with oil painting and charcoal drawing in small and large formats, and recurringly with sculptures as a complement to the paintings.

In her work, Lund-Young explores time and transience from a human and ecological perspective. After suddenly having lost a loved one and gone through a grieving process, she has examined similarities between the experience of grief and the cycle of nature. It can involve a painterly exploration of the transformation within a fallen tree, or the underground network of mycelium that means that a fungus is only a small part of a much larger body.

To further investigate transience on an existential level, she puts her work in relation to theories within physics and philosophy that see the world as a series of processes: i.e. that the world is something that happens in an eternal transformation and where nothing is fixed permanently in time.

Lund-Young holds an MFA from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design (2013). In 2022 – 2023 she completed the Turps Correspondence Course for painters with Turps Art School, London. She has shown work in galleries such as Benhuset, Stockholm; Artbug Gallery, Los Angeles; Arusha Gallery, Scotland; and Altán Klamovka, Prague.

Lund-Young is the recipient of awards such as The Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s one year working grant and the Värmland Museum Trust Artist Award. In 2025 she was shortlisted for the international Jackson’s Art Prize. Her work can be found in public and private collections.
