Tage Åsén (born 1943) is a Swedish graphic artist and painter.
He works in a technique which has been described by art critics as super-realistic or hyper-realistic. The motif in his paintings is a critical "social surrealism" that is predicated on a dark and wry humour. His paintings have been used as covers for a number of books and music albums since his first exhibition (1968).
Most notable among these is perhaps the covers for the Swedish rock group Samla Mammas Manna, ranging from " Måltid" (1972) to " Dear Mamma" (2002).
He also made the book cover paintings of " De heliga geograferna" (1973) and " Guddöttrarna" (1975), the first two novels about Sunne by the Swedish writer Göran Tunström.
